  1. POConverting json to custom object array
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to create a reddit app (just for practice) for Windows Phone 7 using C# and Json.Net. I am trying to get a hang of converting json to something c# can work with, along with some other things. I can pull in the data I want, but don't know if I am using the correct methods in doing so. Then once I have the json data, I cant convert it to a custom object. Anyways, I'm sure there are tons of things wrong in this code so any help to straighten my heading would be much appreciated. </p> <p>Here's the code:</p> <pre><code> public partial class MainPage : PhoneApplicationPage { string json = ""; RootObject topic = new RootObject(); public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); } private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { textBlock1.Text = "Retrieving..."; string url = @"http://www.reddit.com/r/all.json"; HttpWebRequest hWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url); hWebRequest.Method = "GET"; hWebRequest.BeginGetResponse(Response_Completed, hWebRequest); } public void Response_Completed(IAsyncResult result) { HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)result.AsyncState; HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.EndGetResponse(result); using (StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())) { json = streamReader.ReadToEnd(); topic = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject&lt;RootObject&gt;(json); } Deployment.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =&gt; { //textBlock2.Text = topic.data2.title; textBlock1.Text = "Done."; }); </code></pre> <p>This line tells me that a "new" call is required.</p> <pre><code>textBlock2.Text = topic.data2.title; </code></pre> <p>Now this part is giving me the trouble. How do I instantiate data, data2, and child correctly?</p> <pre><code> public class MediaEmbed { } public class Data2 { public string domain { get; set; } public MediaEmbed media_embed { get; set; } public object levenshtein { get; set; } public string subreddit { get; set; } public string selftext_html { get; set; } public string selftext { get; set; } public object likes { get; set; } public bool saved { get; set; } public string id { get; set; } public bool clicked { get; set; } public string title { get; set; } public object media { get; set; } public int score { get; set; } public bool over_18 { get; set; } public bool hidden { get; set; } public string thumbnail { get; set; } public string subreddit_id { get; set; } public string author_flair_css_class { get; set; } public int downs { get; set; } public bool is_self { get; set; } public string permalink { get; set; } public string name { get; set; } public double created { get; set; } public string url { get; set; } public string author_flair_text { get; set; } public string author { get; set; } public double created_utc { get; set; } public int num_comments { get; set; } public int ups { get; set; } //public override string ToString() //{ // return title; //} } public class Child { public string kind { get; set; } public Data2 data { get; set; } } public class Data { public string modhash { get; set; } public Child[] children { get; set; } public string after { get; set; } public object before { get; set; } } public class RootObject { public RootObject() { } public string kind { get; set; } public Data data = new Data(); public Data2 data2 = new Data2(); public Child child = new Child(); } } </code></pre>
