c# - Deserializing from JSON (ScriptObject) to Managed Object -

i'm attempting deserialize json returned javascript via silverlight.

basically on client side returning json , in c# handler, getting via scriptobject...

i tried convertto method on scriptobject , still not anything.

how able convert scriptobject c# object list of objects?

somecallback(scriptobject result) {      // convert managed object      var objects = result.convertto<list<someobjectclass>>(); // can't property it..      // count correct...     messagebox.show("count: " + objects.count); // shows correct count of items } 

silverlight contains no api take scriptobject , serialise json string.

silverlight supports json serialisation via system.runtime.serialization.json.datacontractjsonserializer class found in system.servicemodel.web dll.

you need javascript base json serialiser convert value trying pass scriptobject pass json string parameter instead of scriptobject. believe popular tool job jquery.

now looks expecting set (json "[x1,x2,,,xn]") x items of type someobjectclass. can use little generic function deserialise such list :-

    list<t> deserializejson<t>(string json)     {          byte[] array = encoding.utf8.getbytes(json);         memorystream ms = new memorystream(array);          datacontractjsonserializer dcs = new datacontractjsonserializer(typeof(list<t>));         return (list<t>)dcs.readobject(ms);      } 

you do:-

 var objects = deserializejson<someobjectclass>(somejson);
