C#
Given:
[JsonObject(MemberSerialization.OptOut)]
public class Customer : DynamicObject{
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
}
JavaScript:
var customer = {
FirstName: "John",
LastName: "Doe",
DOB: "12/18/1984"
};
Is there a a setting in JSON.NET or something else that has to happen such that the DOB would be deserialized to strongly typed Customer when json is posted to server?
to get this to work use custom converter overriding the ReadJson, and WriteJson methods
public class CustomConverter : JsonConverter{
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer,
object value,
JsonSerializer serializer)
{
if (value is DynamicSword)
{
var ds = (DynamicSword)value;
string[] serializable;
string[] notSerializable;
ds.SetSerializableAndNotSerializable(out serializable, out notSerializable);
var jobject = new JObject();
foreach (var item in serializable)
{
var tempValue = ds[item];
if (tempValue != null)
{
jobject.Add(item, JToken.FromObject(tempValue));
}
}
jobject.WriteTo(writer);
}
else
{
JToken t = JToken.FromObject(value);
t.WriteTo(writer);
}
}
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
{
return true;
}
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader,
Type objectType,
object existingValue,
JsonSerializer serializer)
{
ConstructorInfo magicConstructor = objectType.GetConstructor(Type.EmptyTypes);
var newObject = magicConstructor.Invoke(new object[]{});
JObject jObject = JObject.Load(reader);
if (newObject is DynamicSword)
{
var ds = (DynamicSword)newObject;
hydrate(jObject, ds);
}
else
{
//do something different?
//really shoulnt be in here anyways
}
return newObject;
}
....
}
