How do you modify the Json serialization of just one field using Json.net?

Question

Say for example I\'m trying to convert an object with 10 fields to Json, however I need to modify the process of serializing 1 of these fields. At the moment, I\'d have to use m

Answer 1

If you have access to the class (and you always need it to be serialized the same way) you could modify the class to your needs. Suppose this.is the class:

public class MyClass
{
    public string Value4 {get; set;}
}

If you want value 4 to be serialized as an int you could do this:

public class MyClass
{
    [JsonIgnore()]
    public string Value4 {get; set;}

    public int Value4AsInt
    {
        return Convert.ToInt32(Value4);
    }
}
