Convert IEnumerable<object> results to List<Account> - c#

I have a salesforce rest service which returns results in IEnumerable format. Below is a sample results.
[{
"attributes": {
"type": "Account",
"url": "/services/data/v28.0/sobjects/Account/001i0000WK5xYAAT"
},
"RecordType": {
"attributes": {
"type": "RecordType",
"url": "/services/data/v28.0/sobjects/RecordType/012i00000x7FwAAI"
},
"Name": "Health Care Practitioners"
},
"Name": "JOSEPH SANDERS",
"Status_ims__c": "Verified",
},
{
"attributes": {
"type": "Account",
"url": "/services/data/v28.0/sobjects/Account/001i000000WK5xYAAT"
},
"RecordType": {
"attributes": {
"type": "RecordType",
"url": "/services/data/v28.0/sobjects/RecordType/012i0000000x7FwAAI"
},
"Name": "Health Care Practitioners"
},
"Name": "DONALD GRABER",
"Status_ims__c": "Verified",
}]
public class Account
{
public string Name { get{ return GetOption ("Name");} }
public string Status_ims__c { get{ return GetOption ("Status_ims__c");}}
public Attributes attributes {get;}
public RecordType recordType {get;}
}
public class Attributes
{
public string type { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
}
public class Attributes2
{
public string type { get; set; }
public string url { get; set; }
}
public class RecordType
{
public Attributes2 attributes { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
Above is the structure I have for Account Object. How to convert results to List and map to each property on Account object.

For Example is using json.net ->
var account = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Account>>(stringData);
Also if there are some differences between the object and the data you can use JsonProperty Annotations
Therefore you could also have more readable properties in your class model like
[JsonProperty("Status_ims__c ")]
public string Status

You can simple use this:
var accounts = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Account>>("your json string...");

If you use Newtonsoft.Json you can use Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject method.
Also make sure that your properties have setters in Account class.

C# MongoDB Driver - Ignore fields on De-Serializing

I want to retrieve the list of Booking collection.
Some of the collection have,
Case 1
"Countries": [{
"Destinations": [{
"Code": "CHX",
"Name": "French Alps"
}],
"Code": {
"_t": "JsonElement"
},
"Name": {
"_t": "JsonElement"
}
}]
and some of them have,
Case 2
"Countries": [{
"Destinations": [{
"Code": "DXB",
"Name": "Dubai"
}],
"Code": "AE",
"Name": "United Arab Emirates"
}]
Note that code and name fields.
and the model for retrieve list is
{
public List<DestinationDocument> Destinations { get; set; } = new List<DestinationDocument>();
public string Code { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
I want to to ignore the code and name when they are not string (i.e I want to ignore code and name of case 1 . but not Destinations of case 1 ).
How can I do that using mongoDb driver.
I tried SetIgnoreExtraElements. but it does not work.
Easiest way to control the way MongoDB .NET deserializes your data is probably to create your own serializer and return null whenever it encounters anything different than BsonType.String. It can be done in two steps. Define your custom deserialization logic:
public class IgnoreDocumentSerializer : SerializerBase<string>
{
public override string Deserialize(BsonDeserializationContext context, BsonDeserializationArgs args)
{
var serializer = BsonSerializer.LookupSerializer(typeof(string));
if(context.Reader.CurrentBsonType == BsonType.String)
{
return (string)serializer.Deserialize(context, args);
}
if (context.Reader.CurrentBsonType == BsonType.Document)
{
context.Reader.ReadRawBsonDocument();
}
return null;
}
}
and decorate your model properties with BsonSerializer attribute:
public class Country
{
public List<DestinationDocument> Destinations { get; set; } = new List<DestinationDocument>();
[BsonSerializer(typeof(IgnoreDocumentSerializer))]
public string Code { get; set; }
[BsonSerializer(typeof(IgnoreDocumentSerializer))]
public string Name { get; set; }
}

Convert custome Key+Value JSON object Response to C# Model

i have this API that i want to creat a dynamic object. My point here is to have normal object to deal with rather than what this API returns to me, i can't controll this API so the retrived data can't be modified, this is the body, and it represnet a view in Database
Also i think reflection could help me in this case, any idea....
Request Body:
{
"ViewName": "Person",
"ViewOutput": "Name, Email, Number",
"ViewFilter": [
{
"filterKey": "Number",
"filterValue": "532000000"
}
]
}
I want the ViewName + ViewOutput+ ViewFilter to be paramterized,
ViewName it will take single value,
ViewOutput will be array of string
ViewFilter will be list of filteration ("FilterKey", "FilterVlaue") because it could be mutliple filteration value like this:
"ViewFilter": [
{
"filterKey": "Number",
"filterValue": "532000000"
},
{
"filterKey": "Email",
"filterValue": "test1#test.ps"
}
]
This is What API Return to me, a list of Person Keys and values,
Response:
{
"ResponseCode": "0",
"ResponseMessage": "Success",
"NumberOfRecords": "1",
"MainData": [
{
"recordData": [
{
"dataKey": "Name",
"dataValue": "Test Name"
},
{
"dataKey": "Email",
"dataValue": "test#test.ps"
},
{
"dataKey": "Number",
"dataValue": "532000000"
}
]
}
]
}
What i want to be the output is like this:
"Person": [
{
"Name":"Test",
"Email":"test#test.ps",
"Number":"532000000",
}]
Pasting the response JSON into an empty class file in Visual Studio using the Paste JSON As Classes feature, yields these classes:
public class Rootobject
{
public string ResponseCode { get; set; }
public string ResponseMessage { get; set; }
public string NumberOfRecords { get; set; }
public Maindata[] MainData { get; set; }
}
public class Maindata
{
public Recorddata[] recordData { get; set; }
}
public class Recorddata
{
public string dataKey { get; set; }
public string dataValue { get; set; }
}
You can create your own Person class.
Once you deserialize the JSON into the generated classes, one way to get a List<Person> would be to do something like this (please note that this is untested example code):
var people = rootObject.Maindata.Select(r =>
{
var name = r.recordData.Single(d => d.dataKey == "Name").dataValue;
var email = r.recordData.Single(d => d.dataKey == "Email").dataValue;
var number = r.recordData.Single(d => d.dataKey == "Number").dataValue;
return new Person(name, email, number);
}).ToList();

Getting NULL Deserializing JSON string using JavaScriptSerializer

Hi I having following JSON but while Using Deserialize method getting NULL in nested Member here is the sample JSON and corresponding Class object:
{
"status": "success",
"Info": [
{
"Name": "1099589",
"version": "Current Version",
"MoreDetails": [
{
"Name": "1099589",
"state": "IN"
},
{
"Name": "1099768",
"state": "OUT"
}
]
},
{
"Name": "1099768",
"version": "2019"
}
],
"errorCode": "",
"message": ""
}
Class :
public class MoreDetail
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string state { get; set; }
}
public class Info
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string version { get; set; }
public IList<MoreDetail> MoreDetails { get; set; }
}
public class Example
{
public string status { get; set; }
public IList<Info> Info { get; set; }
public string errorCode { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
}
While I am using
JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Example ex = new OfferingPayload();
ex = js.Deserialize<Example> (jsonstring);
I am able to see Example object having Info data as list but MoreDetails member of Info Class is coming NULL.
Can someone suggest what I am missing here ?
Thats because your second "Info" object doesnt have "MoreDetails" property.
{
"Name": "1099768",
"version": "2019"
}
To make it works you can add an empty "MoreDetails" property to your json.
{
"Name": "1099768",
"version": "2019",
"MoreDetails": []
}
Or you can configure your serializer to handle this property as optional. Then it will works fine even if it missing in your json.

Deserialize nested JSON array using RestSharp

Having the following json array:
[{
"Name": "Component1",
"Count": 2,
"Bulletins": [{
"ReferenceNumber": "00000A57",
"Title": "Test test test",
"PublicationDate": "2014-07-02",
"List": ["00000A57"]
},
{
"ReferenceNumber": "10V240000",
"Title": "Bla bla bla",
"PublicationDate": "2010-06-04",
"List": ["10V240000"]
}]
},
{
"Name": "Component2",
"Count": 2,
"Bulletins": [{
"ReferenceNumber": "00-00-0A-57",
"Title": "INFORMATION REGARDING BLA BLA",
"PublicationDate": "2015-05-22",
"List": ["15-00-89-004",
"15-00-89-004A"]
},
{
"ReferenceNumber": "01-02-0B-57",
"Title": "UNSCHEDULED SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES",
"PublicationDate": "2012-09-28",
"List": ["04-06-01-029",
"04-26-51-029",
"04-26-51-029",
"04-26-51-029",
"04-26-51-029",
"04-26-51-029",
"04-26-51-029"]
}]
}]
I'm using the following code to retrieve the Name and Count values:
public class BulletinsItemsName
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Count { get; set; }
public List<BulletinsContainer> blt { get; set; }
}
public class BulletinsContainer
{
public Bulletins Bulletins;
}
public class Bulletins
{
public string ReferenceNumber { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string PublicationDate { get; set; }
public string SupersededList { get; set; }
}
To run the request i have:
var req = request.Execute<List<BulletinsItemsName>>(parameters);
And to list values:
foreach(var xx in req.Data)
{
Console.WriteLine(xx.Name);
foreach(var yz in xx.blt) // Object reference not set to an instance of an object
{
Console.WriteLine(yz.Bulletins.Title);
}
}
How can I get values for: ReferenceNumber, Title, PublicationDate and List? All values are correctly returned for Name and Count but when I want to get Bulletins values the following error is thrown: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Try using a list of Bulletins instead of BulletinsContainer - It's early morning for me, but I can't see why you need a BulletinsContainer
public List<Bulletins> blt { get; set; }
I would also recommend, if possible, that you name your classes in their singular form.

How can I use ReadAsAsync<T> with this data schema?

I am using System.Net.Http.HttpClient, the version currently available in NuGet,
to retrieve data from a service in json format. The data roughly looks like this:
{
"schema": "Listing",
"data": {
"key": "28ba648c-de24-45d4-a7d9-70f810cf5438",
"children": [{
"kind": "type1",
"data": {
"body": "Four score and seven years ago...",
"parent_id": "2qh3l",
"report_count": 0,
"name": "c4j6yeh"
}
}, {
"kind": "type3",
"data": {
"domain": "abc.def.com",
"flagged": true,
"category": "news",
"saved": false,
"id": "t3dz0",
"created": 1335998011.0
}
}]
}
}
I use HttpContentExtensions.ReadAsAsync<T> to de-serialize that json string into an object graph. The type definitions looks roughly like this:
public class Response
{
public String schema { get;set; }
public ListingData data { get;set; }
}
public class ListingData
{
public string key { get;set; }
public List<OneItem> children { get;set; }
}
Here's the problem: I desire the type of the items in children to vary depending on the kind property. If kind is "type1" then I want to de-serialize an object of... let's call it Type1 . If kind is "type3" then I want an object of type Type3.
Right now, I can deserialize a List<Type1> or a List<Type3>, but I don't know how to tell the de-serialization logic to distinguish between the two.
I could merge all the properties of the "type1" data object and the "type3" data object into a single .NET Type. But the number of properties is large enough that this gets messy.
If the name of the property in the JSON (in this case data) were different, I could distinguish using that. If, for example, the data looked like this:
"children": [{
"kind": "type1",
"t1data": { ... }
}, {
"kind": "type3",
"t3data": { ... }
}]
...then I could do something like this in .NET:
public class OneItem
{
public string kind { get;set; }
public Type1 t1data { get;set; }
public Type3 t3data { get;set; }
}
But my data schema doesn't look like that.
Is it possible to choose the type for de-serialization by the content of the data? In other words,
look at the value of one property (in this case, kind) to determine how to de-serialize the content for another property (in this case, data).
Or is it possible to inject a filter or transformer that acts on the JSON before ReadAsAsync tries to deserialize it?
If so, How?
If you're ok w/ doing some pre-processing on your response and you can use Json.NET, you should be able to do what you want.
Given the following classes:
public class Response
{
public string schema
{
get;
set;
}
public ListingData data
{
get;
set;
}
}
public class ListingData
{
public string key
{
get;
set;
}
public List<object> children
{
get;
set;
}
}
public class Type1
{
public string body
{
get;
set;
}
public string parent_id
{
get;
set;
}
public int report_count
{
get;
set;
}
public string name
{
get;
set;
}
}
public class Type3
{
public string domain
{
get;
set;
}
public bool flagged
{
get;
set;
}
public string category
{
get;
set;
}
public bool saved
{
get;
set;
}
public string id
{
get;
set;
}
public double created
{
get;
set;
}
}
This test passes:
[Test]
public void RoundTrip()
{
var response = new Response
{
schema = "Listing",
data = new ListingData
{
key = "28ba648c-de24-45d4-a7d9-70f810cf5438",
children = new List<object>
{
new Type1
{
body = "Four score and seven years ago...",
parent_id = "2qh3l",
report_count = 0,
name = "c4j6yeh"
},
new Type3
{
domain = "abc.def.com",
flagged = true,
category = "news",
saved = false,
id = "t3dz0",
created = 1335998011.0
}
}
}
};
var jsonSerializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings
{
Formatting = Formatting.Indented,
TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Objects
};
string serializedResponse = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(response, jsonSerializerSettings);
Console.WriteLine(serializedResponse);
var roundTrippedResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Response>(serializedResponse, jsonSerializerSettings);
Assert.That(roundTrippedResponse.data.children.First().GetType(), Is.EqualTo(typeof(Type1)));
Assert.That(roundTrippedResponse.data.children.Last().GetType(), Is.EqualTo(typeof(Type3)));
}
The output written to the console is:
{
"$type": "Test.Response, Test",
"schema": "Listing",
"data": {
"$type": "Test.ListingData, Test",
"key": "28ba648c-de24-45d4-a7d9-70f810cf5438",
"children": [
{
"$type": "Test.Type1, Test",
"body": "Four score and seven years ago...",
"parent_id": "2qh3l",
"report_count": 0,
"name": "c4j6yeh"
},
{
"$type": "Test.Type3, Test",
"domain": "abc.def.com",
"flagged": true,
"category": "news",
"saved": false,
"id": "t3dz0",
"created": 1335998011.0
}
]
}
}
So if you can transform your received response to match that of Json.NET's expected format, this will work.
To piece all of this together, you would need to write a custom MediaTypeFormatter and pass it to the ReadAsAsync<>() call.
