Converting JSON to Object fails - Cannot deserialize the current JSON object into System.Collections.Generic.List

Question

I\'m using the API of www.textlocal.in, which returns a JSON formatted object.

JSON

{  
   \"warnings\":[  
      {  
         \"messag         


        

Answer 1

I simulated your problem and made the following changes that worked:

1. Change the method that deserializes to this:

   var a = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(richTextBox1.Text);
   

   The result of the JSON you receive is not a List, so it will not work to deserialize to List<>.

2. The recipient property of the messages class receives values larger than an integer, so it must be transformed into a long like this:

   public long recipient { get; set; }
   

These changes solve your problem.
