Creating a JSON Request using VB.NET
Posted on 2016-08-25
I have to create a JSON request in the following format
{
"companyId": 1111,
"shipDate": "2016-08-25",
"notes": "ABC",
"Items":
[
{
"productId": 111,
"Type": "9",
"Qty": 2,
"cost": 3,
"price": 3.50,
}
]
}
So far, I have created two classes:
Public Class SaleOrder
Public Property companyId As Integer
Public Property shipDate As Date
Public Property notes As String
Public Property Items As Items
End Class
Public Class Items
Public Property productId As Integer
Public Property Type As String
Public Property Qty As Integer
Public Property cost As Double
Public Property price As Double
End Class
Below is my code in VB.NET
Dim OrderList As New List(Of SaleOrder()
Dim SaleOrder As New SaleOrder()
SaleOrder.companyId= "1111"
SaleOrder.notes = "ABC"
SaleOrder.shipDate = Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")
SaleOrder.Items.productId = 111
SaleOrder.Items.Type = "9"
SaleOrder.Items.Qty = 3
SaleOrder.Items.cost = 2
SaleOrder.Items.price = 3.5
OrderList.Add(SaleOrder)
I am getting "object reference not set to instance..." error on
SaleOrder.Items.productId
It the way I am trying to create the Items array wrong?

Thanks! Got it. I made the following change
Dim Item As New Items()
Item.productId = 111
Item.Type = "9"
Item.Qty = 3
Item.cost = 2
Item.price = 3.5
SaleOrder.Item = Item
OrderList.Add(SaleOrder)
This created the JSON request as
[{
"companyId": 1111,
"shipDate": "2016-08-25",
"notes": "ABC",
"Items":
{
"productId": 111,
"Type": "9",
"Qty": 2,
"cost": 3,
"price": 3.50,
}
}]
Items is created as an object. How to I convert it to array so it looks exactly like the sample in my question?
Dim Item As New Items()
Item.productId = 111
Item.Type = "9"
Item.Qty = 3
Item.cost = 2
Item.price = 3.5
SaleOrder.Item = Item
OrderList.Add(SaleOrder)
This created the JSON request as
[{
"companyId": 1111,
"shipDate": "2016-08-25",
"notes": "ABC",
"Items":
{
"productId": 111,
"Type": "9",
"Qty": 2,
"cost": 3,
"price": 3.50,
}
}]

If I declare Items as
Public Property Items As new list(of Items)
Can you please let me know how do I assign it values?
Item.productId = 111
Item.Type = "9"
Item.Qty = 3
Item.cost = 2
Item.price = 3.5
as the above wouldn't work anymore.
Public Property Items As new list(of Items)

Item.productId = 111
Item.Type = "9"
Item.Qty = 3
Item.cost = 2
Item.price = 3.5

if you would like to be clean, your class:
should be declared as:
because a class instance contains only 1 item
you will have to change your property for:
then you do something like to create an instance of the class:
to finally add your item to the collection:
Public Class Items
should be declared as:
Public Class Item
because a class instance contains only 1 item
you will have to change your property for:
Public Property Items As new list(of Item)
then you do something like to create an instance of the class:
dim x as new Item
x.productId = 111
x.Type = "9"
x.Qty = 3
x.cost = 2
x.price = 3.5
to finally add your item to the collection:
SaleOrder.Items.Add(x)
