Question

I am currently working with Json Deserializing code. Here is my problem:

In the Json file I encountered a array looks like this:

"location":[47.618832,-122.21599]

For which I can easily parse into a double array:

[DataMember(Name = "location")]
public double[] Location { get; set; }

But I want to generate a object in this case, lets call it location of Coordinate type defined in someother namespace. It has constructor like this:

public Coordinate(double lat, double long)

So is there a way I can generate a Coordinate object directly in this case?

Thank you

Not directly but much cleaner way.

public class MyClass
{
       [DataMember(Name = "location")]
       public double[] Location { get; set; }

       public Coordinate Coordinate
       {
            get
            {
                  if(Location.Lenght > 2)
                  {
                        return new Coordinate() { Lat = Location[0], Lang = Location[1] };
                  }

                  return null;
            }
       }

}

public class Coordinate
{
      public double Lat { get; set;}
      public double Lang { get; set;}
}
