C# JSON & Parsing -

i have managed set-up simple webclient calls wcf service in wp8 application. method fires fine , data returned via openreadcompleted event.

what wish convert returned data in json , populate collection of objects.

this webclient code:

private void button_click(object sender, routedeventargs e) {     var webclient = new webclient();     var uri = new uri("urlgoeshere");     webclient.openreadcompleted += webclient_openreadcompleted;     webclient.openreadasync(uri); } 

this openreadcomplete code:

void webclient_openreadcompleted(object sender, openreadcompletedeventargs e) {     var sr = new streamreader(e.result);     var data = sr.readtoend();     //todo - create collection of sightingtypes , populate     sr.close();     sr.dispose(); } 

and poco/object want populating:

public class sightingtype {     public string name { get; set; }     public string brandid { get; set; } } 

update

when hover on data, can see following (shortened):

{\"message\":null,\"status\":0,\"currentversionnumber\":26,\"sightingtypes\":[{\"brandid\":\"brands\\/1\",\"destinationuserids\":[\"users\\/33\"],\"id\":\"sightingtypes\\/8\",\"isdeleted\":false,\"isenabled\":true,\"name\":\"michael johnson\"} 

what particularly interested in name , brandid.

you can use json.net , following classes (your root object not sightingtype )....

var result = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<response>(data);   

---

public class sightingtype {     public string brandid { get; set; }     public list<string> destinationuserids { get; set; }     public string id { get; set; }     public bool isdeleted { get; set; }     public bool isenabled { get; set; }     public string name { get; set; } }  public class response {     public object message { get; set; }     public int status { get; set; }     public int currentversionnumber { get; set; }     public list<sightingtype> sightingtypes { get; set; } }
