Question

Serializing Dictionary< String, Dictionary< String, String > > to the point where it can be stored, and later de serialized.
I’ve done quite a bit of googling and can’t find a class, or function that is compatible with .NET 4.5 Completely.

Answer 1

Well i found the solution is to use JSON.NET

public String Serialize(Dictionary<int, Dictionary<String, String>> all)
        {

            String abc = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(all, Formatting.None, new JsonSerializerSettings
                        {
                            TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Objects,
                            TypeNameAssemblyFormat = System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple
                        });
            return abc;
        }

         public Dictionary<int, Dictionary<String, String>> DeSerialize(String text)
         {

             Dictionary<int, Dictionary<String, String>> abc;
             abc = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<int, Dictionary<String, String>>>(text, new JsonSerializerSettings
             {
                 TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Objects,
                 TypeNameAssemblyFormat = System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple,
             });
             return abc;
         }
