Question

I make a web request in Silverlight for windows phone. And this is the responce.

{"result": {
"account": null,
"checkInfo": null,
"command": null,
"shifts": [
    {
        "description": "17:45 - 17:55 work shift",
        "id": 5459,
        "venueId": 132
    }]}}

I use Newtonsoft.Json.dll and my purpose is to catch the array – shifts.

JObject obj = JObject.Parse(StringShifts);
JArray sh = (JArray)obj["shifts"];

But every time sh value is null. What i’m i doing wrong? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The other way around is: (This is very helpful, if you are doing more operations like this in your project)
Create these classes in your project

public class Shift
    {
        public string description { get; set; }
        public int id { get; set; }
        public int venueId { get; set; }
    }

    public class Result
    {
        public object account { get; set; }
        public object checkInfo { get; set; }
        public object command { get; set; }
        public List<Shift> shifts { get; set; }
    }

    public class RootObject
    {
        public Result result { get; set; }
    }

And then in your code

 var rootObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(StringShifts);
 foreach(var shift in rootObject.result.shifts)
 {
     Console.Write(shift.description);
 }

This way you can have more control on your json response data. But L.B ‘s answer if it is one time process in your app.
