How to serialize List into string using C#?


The non-generic type cannot be used with type arguments 

String jsonstring =JsonSerializer<list<modelgoogle>>(AddressList);

Here modelgoogle is the name of the class in which I have declared the variables and address list is the list.

List<modelgoogle> Addresslist = new list<modelgoogle>();

Hope u understand this I don't have any concept of JSON serialization and in my code which I have taken from net is all fine except this line 

String jsonstring =JsonSerializer<list<modelgoogle>>(AddressList)

 If I am correct, and understanding your question you want to Serialize your List into string using C#

You can use the JSON.net parser to achieve this

using Newtonsoft.Json;

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(aList);

You may need to install it using NuGet

PM> Install-Package Newtonsoft.Json

Or Second Method, which is old one

using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

var jsonSerialiser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var json = jsonSerialiser.Serialize(aList);

I Hope this helps, let me know if it works by commenting on the answer, thanks

here is the another possible solution for you question using DataContractJsonSerializer

  1. DataContractJsonSerializer

    var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(TheList.GetType());
using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
{
    serializer.WriteObject(stream, TheList);
    using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
    {
        return sr.ReadToEnd();
    }
}

    Note, that this option requires a definition of a data contract for your class:

    [DataContract]
public class MyObjectInJson
{
   [DataMember]
   public long ObjectID {get;set;}
   [DataMember]
   public string ObjectInJson {get;set;}
}
