deserialize list of objects using json.net
.net, deserialization, json, json.net
Solution
The type parameter for `DeserializeObject` has to be `List<Category>` instead of `Category`.
In C# it would be `JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Category>>(json)`
And In VB.Net it would be `JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of List(Of Category))(json)`
Problem
i have this class ``` public class Image { public string url { get; set; } public string url_40px { get; set; } public string url_50px { get; set; } } public class Category { public List<int> ancestor_ids { get; set; } public int parent_id { get; set; } public List<object> children_ids { get; set; } public string nodename { get; set; } public int num_parts { get; set; } public List<Image> images { get; set; } public string __class__ { get; set; } public int id { get; set; } } ``` and i deserialize it like this ``` retObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of Category)(jsonResp) ``` but for a list of category returned, how do i convert to `List<Category>`? thanks
