json.net deserialization throwing exception when json is loaded from project resource

Question

This is the deserialization that produces the problem:

public MyType ProblematicDeserialization(jsonString)
{
    return Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeO         


        

Answer 1

After /u/dbc's comment that the byte sequence indicated that the encoding of the resource file was UTF-8-BOM, I solved it this way:

• I went to the source file in disk that was treated as a resource in my project
• I edited it with Notepad++
• Encoding -> Convert to UTF-8

After that, the exact same code posted in the original post worked perfectly.

Answer 2

First you sample does not compile, I assume you mean

public MyType ProblematicDeserialization(s)
{
    return Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyType)(s);   
}
