PODeserializing JSON in .NET that I have no control over

    <p>I have to deserialize JSON strings that I don't have any control over. This is an extreme example, but it gets the point across:</p> <pre><code>string fooJson = @" { 'foo_baz': 123, foo_bar: 'buuuu', ""Xyz"": ""\/Date(405928800000-0600)\/"" //1982-11-12 }"; </code></pre> <p>The JSON has to be deserialized into this C# class that I can't change:</p> <pre><code>public class Foo { public string Bar { get; set; } public int Baz { get; private set; } public DateTime Xyz { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>Serializing <code>Foo</code> is no problem.</p> <p>After deserializing, the results should be...</p> <ul> <li><code>Bar</code> == <code>"buuuu"</code></li> <li><code>Baz</code> == <code>123</code></li> <li><code>Xyz</code> == <code>DateTime.MinValue</code> or uninitialized</li> </ul> <p>...but I have problems.</p> <p><code>DataContractJsonSerializer</code>, along with <code>DataContract</code> and <code>DataMember</code> attributes on <code>Foo</code> and its members, is basically perfect, except it balks on JSON properties and strings that aren't properly double-quoted.</p> <p><code>JavaScriptSerializer</code> seems to handle the non-standard quoting, but I can't get it to ignore <code>Xyz</code> or map <code>foo_baz</code> to <code>Baz</code> and <code>foo_bar</code> to <code>Bar</code>.</p> <p>This is going to be part of a distributable class library, so I'm trying to avoid third-party tools&mdash;such as JSON.NET&mdash;as much as possible. However, if there's no built-in way to do what I need, I'm open to suggestions of third-party tools.</p>

    1. COI hate to point out the obvious but this is the problem: "except it balks on JSON properties and strings that aren't properly double-quoted"....then that isn't JSON, it's *almost* JSON, but not JSON. Many things break without proper JSON formatting...`JSON.parse()` on the browser for example. You need to create valid JSON.

    2. COThanks, but, as I stated in the first sentence above, I don't have any control over what gets sent to me.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
