Asp.net c#. This is my json string that i am getting from external web address, i want to store it in a list and then display it using gridview. it is giving an error i-e.
Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[AMS_WEB_Form.Employee]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path 'employees', line 1, position 13.
plz help,
class that i am using,..
public class Employee
{
public int employee_id { get; set; }
public string employee_name { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public List<Employee> employees { get; set; }
}
This is what i am doing....and calling this task in PageLoads event of view.
async Task RunAsyncGetDataFromSource()
{
using( var client = new HttpClient() )
{
//HTTP get
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("http://192.168.88.598:6598/employees");
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
if( response.IsSuccessStatusCode )
{
var jsonString = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Employee>>(jsonString);
GridExternalUsersData.DataSource = data;
GridExternalUsersData.DataBind();
Response.Write("<script>alert('Data loaded successfully');</script>");
}
}
}
My JSON Output from WebAPI is in this format.
