Problems with Json Serialize Dictionary

Question

whenever i try to serialize the dictionary i get the exception:

System.ArgumentException: Type 
\'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[Foo.DictionarySerializ         


        

Answer 1

Use Newtonsoft (Newtonsoft.Json.dll) to serialize the Dictionary object and you'd be fine. It's a popular third party library you would have to download and include in your project as a reference.

See example below:

var _validationInfos = new Dictionary();
var serializedData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_validationInfos);
