Processing JSON response in an ASP.NET webform

Question

I'm sending an HTTPWebRequest to a service and they are returning a userid in JSON.

They are returning:

{"id: 123456"}

How do I process this? Should I just do a split on the : and take the second element or is there a proper way of doing this?

Answer 1

you can do that or use a json serializer to deserialize it

if you are using .net 3.5 have a look at system.web.script.serialization.javascriptserializer
