I'm have to use the facebook c# sdk for a new poject in .net 3.5 , I'm aware that the latest version has examples for 4 - but it's also compiled against the 3.5 so works completely.
Anyway, and forgive me if I'm being incredibly dumb. But i'm looking to convert a json object into my model, can I do something like this?
public ActionResult About()
{
var app = new FacebookApp();
JsonObject friends = (JsonObject)app.Get("me/friends");
ViewData["Albums"] = new Friends((string)friends.ToString());
return View();
}
public class Friends
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
public Friends(string json)
{
JArray jObject = JArray.Parse(json);
JToken jData = jObject["data"];
name = (string)jData["name"];
id = (string)jData["id"];
}
}
This is using Json.Net. Obviously this doesn't work, the error I get back is
Error reading JArray from JsonReader. Current JsonReader item is not an array: StartObject
I'm pretty sure that I'm going completely the wrong way around this - so if anyone can offer any tips I'd be incredibbly grateful.
Maybe this code would help:
public class Friend
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
...
public ActionResult About()
{
var app = new FacebookApp();
var result = (JsonObject)app.Get("me/friends"));
var model = new List<Friend>();
foreach( var friend in (JsonArray)result["data"])
model.Add( new Friend()
{
Id = (string)(((JsonObject)friend)["id"]),
Name = (string)(((JsonObject)friend)["name"])
};
return View(model);
}
Now your model will be of type List<Friend>
