    <p><em>Note: I posted <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1448184/deserializing-some-json-with-json-net">a similar question</a>, which was the ancestor of this question, as I was originally thinking of using JSON.NET to parse the JSON, but I'm using the built-in deserializer, so it's a different question.</em></p> <p>This is what I'm trying to do: I have a class called Item, for example. The json has many "elements" (if that's what they are called - they mimic the Item class), and each contains 3 fields: an integer named id, a string named name, and a datetime named creationTime. I would like to parse all of these Item "elements" from the json into a list of Item objects. I have created 3 fields in the Item class to match the JSON. </p> <p>This is what I'm currently doing: </p> <pre><code>JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer(); List&lt;Item&gt; items = ser.Deserialize&lt;Item&gt;(new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd()); </code></pre> <p>However, this isn't working, because I "cannot implicitly convert type 'superapi.Item' to 'System.Collections.Generic.List<code>&lt;superapi.Item</code>>'". Thus, I do not know how to approach this problem, as there are many elements of the Item architecture in the JSON. Is it somehow possible to do this in a foreach loop, to find each deserialized Item in the JSON, add that to the list, and continue the loop? I'm going to attempt to do just that with some similar code, and I will post my results.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> This is what some of the JSON looks like:</p> <pre><code>[{ "Id": 1, "Name": "First item name", "creationTime": "\/Date(1247258293690)\/" }, { "Id": 2, "Name": "Second item name", "creationTime": "\/Date(1247088323430)\/" }] </code></pre> <p>This is what my Item class looks like:</p> <pre><code>public class Item { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public DateTime creationTime { get; set; } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
