Today, We want to share with you Convert Serialize List Object to JSON String in C# ASP.NET.
In this post we will show you c# – Converting list of objects to json array, hear for Convert List Object to JSON String in C# with example we will give you demo and example for implement.
In this post, we will learn about Converting Object to JSON and JSON to C# Objects with an example.

Introduction: Convert List Object to JSON String

Convert List Object to JSON String in C#

In this post we will learn about how to ‘Convert List Object to JSON String in C#‘ in asp.net using Most Useful Tips and Tricks for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 with example.

Description:

In my previous post I explained various topics like Angular GridView Insert Update and Delete in ASP.NET MVC. ASP.NET URL Routing Web Forms Application, Introduction To ASP.NET Delegates and Events in C#, jQuery Display Image preview before upload in Asp.net.

Advantages of JSON

• Smaller message size
• Information are stored in more structural document.
• It can easily distinguish the number and string i.e. 1 and “1”
• Easy to represent NULL value.

By using newtonsoft json(Which is available in Nuget Package Manager) we can easily convert the list object to the string which contain corresponding Json.

Below I have provided methods to Convert List Object to JSON ASP.NET String in Technology.

JSON Serialization Method:

Below method is use to convert object list to Json formate string.

List<employeedetails> _EmployeeDetails= new List<employeedetails>();
EmployeeDetails user = new EmployeeDetails();
EmployeeDetails.Add(new EmployeeDetails{ EmployeeID= 1, UserName= "Rajesh", Location= "Chennai" });
string strserialize = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(EmployeeDetails);

JSON DeSerialization Method

Following is the serialize method to serialize list items into JSON string format. Again this is achieved by Newtonsoft.

C# Source Code

string strmsg = "[{\"EmployeeID\":1,\"UserName\":\"Rajesh\",\"Location\":\"chennai\"},{\"EmployeeID\":2,\"UserName\":\"Mahesh\",\"Location\":\"Surat\"}]";
            var user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<EmployeeDetails>>(strmsg);

Below I have demonstrate complete working example for serialization and deserialization for Json Data.

create new web application and open your Default.aspx page and write the code like as shown below.

	<form id="frmMain" runat="server">
        <div>
            <asp:button id="btnSerialize" runat="server" text="Serialize" onclick="btnSerialize_Click" />
            <asp:button id="btnDeserialize" runat="server" text="DeSerialize" onclick="btnDeserialize_Click" />
            <div>
                Serialized Data:
                <asp:label id="lblserial" runat="server" />
            </div>
            <div>
                DeSerialized Data:
                <asp:label id="lbldeserial" runat="server" />
            </div>
        </div>
    </form>

Now write below code in code behind file of above .aspx file.

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Json
{
    public partial class Default : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        protected void btnSerialize_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            List<employeedetails> details = new List<employeedetails>();
            EmployeeDetails user = new EmployeeDetails();
            details.Add(new EmployeeDetails { EmployeeID = 1, UserName = "Rajesh", Location = "Chennai" });
            details.Add(new EmployeeDetails { EmployeeID = 1, UserName = "Mahesh", Location = "Surat" });
            details.Add(new EmployeeDetails { EmployeeID = 1, UserName = "Naresh", Location = "Delhi" });
            string strserialize = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(details);
            lblserial.Text = strserialize;
        }

        protected void btnDeserialize_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string strmsg = "[{\"EmployeeID\":1,\"UserName\":\"Rajesh\",\"Location\":\"chennai\"},{\"EmployeeID\":2,\"UserName\":\"Mahesh\",\"Location\":\"Surat\"}]";
            var user = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<EmployeeDetails>>(strmsg);
        }
    }

    class EmployeeDetails
    {
        public int EmployeeID { get; set; }
        public string UserName { get; set; }
        public string Location { get; set; }
    }
}
