How to parse a JSON object

Question

I have a method which is returning Json Result Like :

return Json(new { status = "error", message = "The organization cannot be deleted because contains transmitters!" });

Now I want to test with status and Message I have tried with this

var result = Controller.DeleteOrganization(2) as JsonResult;
Assert.AreEqual("error", result.Data.message);

I am getting Error:

object does not contain a definition for message

How can I resolve this Issue?

the Data is of type object and would not be exposing the property. Try assigning the Data property to a dynamic variable and then try accessing the property. if that does not work then I gave an answer here and here that you can adapt to your problem. — Nkosi

var result = Controller.DeleteOrganization(2) as JsonResult;
var data = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(result.Data);
var deserializedData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(data);
Assert.AreEqual("error", deserializedData.status);

If that does not work then I gave an answer here and here that you can adapt to your problem.

Use json2csharp.com convert JSON to C#
Create a class file put the code
Add the Newtonsoft.Json library to your project using the Nuget Package Manager
Convert the JSON

RootObject r = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);

Thanks for your Reply But, I have tried with JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer(); var jsonResult =serializer.Deserialize<Result>(result.Data.ToString()); as well

JavascriptSerializer is deprecated, please use NewtonSoft Json for better performance and other reasons.
