Get Value from JSON using JArray
c#, json, windows-phone-8
Solution
Use `ToString()`, not `ToString`.
`ToString()` is a method call; `ToString` is a reference to the `ToString` method, and can only be assigned to a compatible delegate.
You can also cast to `String`, since the `JToken` class defines a conversion:
string tempValue = (string)prop.Value;
Another option to consider is to use JSON serialization: create a class that represents the JSON data (with the same structure), and deserialize the JSON to this class. It makes the code much more readable and maintainable.
Problem
I have the following string (json format) I have gotten from my server: ``` {[{"ruta": "1","division": "7"},{"ruta": "2","division": "7"},{"ruta": "3","division":"7"},{"ruta": "4","division": "7"},{"ruta": "5","division": "7"},{"ruta": "23","division": "7"}]} ``` I want to get each value and save them in string variables in order to save them in a data base. For that I am trying to do as follows: ``` JArray jarr = JArray.Parse(result); foreach (JObject content in jarr.Children<JObject>()) { foreach (JProperty prop in content.Properties()) { string tempValue = prop.Value.ToString; // This is not allowed //here more code in order to save in a database } } ``` But I can't find the way to convert the values to string.
