PONested class serialization

copied!<p>I'd like to serialize (in JSON format) a list of object where each object has a property of another type of object. This is what I've got so far:</p> <pre><code>[DataContract] public class Person{ [DataMember] public string Name { get; set; } [DataMember] public Address FullAddress { get; set; } } [DataContract] public class Address { private readonly byte[] _foo; private ulong _value; public byte[] Foo { get { return (byte[]) _foo.Clone(); }} public ulong Value { get { return _value; } set { return _value; }} public Address(byte [] bytes){ _foo = new byte[bytes.Length]; Array.Copy(bytes, _foo, bytes.Length); foreach(byte b in _foo){ _value |= b; // I do some bit manipulation here and modify the _value } } public MacAddress() // added this otherwise I get an exception { } } </code></pre> <p>this is how I'm serializing and deserializing:</p> <pre><code>public class MyJson{ public MyJson(){ var list = new List<Person>{ /* added a bunch of person here */ }; var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer(); string json = serializer.Serialize(list); // serialization works fine var desList = serializer.Deserialize<IList<Person>>(json); // the deserialization doesn't properly deserialize Address property. } } </code></pre> <p>As commented above, the serialization works fine but deserialization doesn't deserialize Address properly. I get a number for <strong>Value</strong> property (as expected) but not for <strong>Foo</strong> (I know it is missing a setter but what if, for some reason, I cannot put a setter?).</p> <p>What am I missing here?</p>
