I am trying to find a way to both serialize and deserialize a dataset

  • 0

I am trying to find a way to both serialize and deserialize a dataset with one datatable to JSON and from JSON back to a dataset / datatable using JSON.NET, however all the samples and examples I have found are only serializing from a dataset or datatable to JSON and never two way. We have a system that deals with XML serialized datasets and datatables that we need to still retain in that format but allow certain UI views to render the data as JSON.

Data can have null values and that’s valid.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Example (One way serialization):

    The following link is to the source for Newtonsoft.Json.Converters.DataTableConverter.cs which does what you want, it’s pretty straight forward and seems like the best route.
