Json.Net calls property getter during deserialization of list, resulting in duplicate items

Question

I\'m using json.net to implement the memento pattern for a winform application. I\'m using the memento to rollback an object on a failed database transaction. The problem

Answer 1

Json.Net has an ObjectCreationHandling setting for this purpose. Try setting it to Replace, e.g.:

JsonSerializerSettings settings = new JsonSerializerSettings();
settings.ObjectCreationHandling = ObjectCreationHandling.Replace;

MyObject obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyObject>(memento, settings);
