I am serializing a collection of objects that contains a dictionary called dynamic properties.
The default Json emitted looks like this:
[{"dynamicProperties":{"WatchId":7771,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"x","Location":"Equinix Source","Name":"PI_5570_5580"}},
{"dynamicProperties":{"WatchId":7769,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"x","Location":"Equinix Source","Name":"PI_5570_5574"}},
{"dynamicProperties":{"WatchId":7767,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"x","Location":"Equinix Source","Name":"PI_5570_5572"}},
{"dynamicProperties":{"WatchId":7765,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"y","Location":"Equinix Source","Name":"highlight_SM"}},
{"dynamicProperties":{"WatchId":8432,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"y","Location":"Test Devices","Name":"Cisco1700PI"}}]
I'd like to produce Json that looks like this:
[{"WatchId":7771,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"x","Location":"Equinix Source","Name":"PI_5570_5580"},
{"WatchId":7769,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"x","Location":"Equinix Source","Name":"PI_5570_5574"},
{"WatchId":7767,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"x","Location":"Equinix Source","Name":"PI_5570_5572"},
{"WatchId":7765,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"y","Location":"Equinix Source","Name":"highlight_SM"},
{"WatchId":8432,"Issues":0,"WatchType":"y","Location":"Test Devices","Name":"Cisco1700PI"}]
From reading the Json.Net documentation it looks like I could build a CustomContractResolver for my class, but I cannot find any details on how to go about this... Can anyone shed any light on the direction I should be looking in?
