Hello Guys,

I am unable to convert JSON string to .net object in asp.net. I am sending JSON string from client to server using hidden field (by keeping the JSON object.Tostring() in hidden field and reading the hidden field value in code behind file)

Json string/ Object:

 [[{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"11","HostingTypeID":"3"},
{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"11","HostingTypeID":"3"},
{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"11","HostingTypeID":"3"},
{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"2","HostingTypeID":"3"},
{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"2","HostingTypeID":"3"},
{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"67","HostingTypeID":"3"},
{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"67","HostingTypeID":"3"}],
[{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"99","HostingTypeID":"6"}],
[{"OfferId":"1","OrderValue":"10","HostingTypeID":"8"}]]

.Net Object

public class JsonFeaturedOffer
{
    public string OfferId { get; set; }

    public string OrderValue { get; set; }

    public string HostingTypeID { get; set; }
}

Converstion code in code behind file

byte[] byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(HdnJsonData.Value);
        MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(byteArray);
        DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(JsonFeaturedOffer));
        object result= serializer.ReadObject(stream);
        JsonFeaturedOffer jsonObj = result as JsonFeaturedOffer;

While converting i am getting following error:

Expecting element 'root' from namespace ''.. Encountered 'None' with name '', namespace ''.
