Question

Am I missing something obvious here? JSON:

{“p”:[{},{“clientId”:102102059663,”checkbox1Ticked”:false,”checkbox2Ticked”:false},{“clientId”:23841,”checkbox1Ticked”:false,”checkbox2Ticked”:false},{“clientId”:102102111426,”checkbox1Ticked”:false,”checkbox2Ticked”:false}]}

C#: (checkboxData is the string above)

    public JsonResult SubmitSelectedChanges(string checkboxData)
    {
        var deserializedClients = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ChangeList>(checkboxData);
        return null;
    }

    public class ChangeList
    {
        public List<Change> p { get; set; }
    }


    public class Change
    {
        string clientId { get; set; }
        bool checkbox1Ticked { get; set; }
        bool checkbox2Ticked { get; set; }
    }

After deserializing the clientId is always null and the checbox1Ticked and checkbox2Ticked is false.

Answer 1

It was because I had forgotten the access modifiers for the change class:

   public class Change
        {
            public string clientId { get; set; }
            public bool checkbox1Ticked { get; set; }
            public bool checkbox2Ticked { get; set; }
        }

I would have thought this would have thrown an exception.
