Create line chart using QuickChart in C#

I want to create a chart but I can't send the data from a list. I am using C#. I need to send the values of X and Y from a query that I perform and the values change. I need to use this library because it allows to create simple graphs.
The value of X has to be of type date and the value of Y is double

Restsharp JSON response search

I need to search the following JSON response. I have no control over how the JSON is returned to me or how it is nested. I am using Restsharp by default, but I am open to whatever method helps me accomplish the task.

Specifically I need to retrieve the categoryCode values. I'm lost on this one. Any direction is much appreciated.

Can I use direct JSON request in Google Sheets .NET API to create charts instead of C# .NET objects?

I got to know how to create charts requests in google sheets API using recursive objects in C# .net from ChrisP in this answer. It looks overwhelming to me to create so many objects recursively and I keep missing some or other objects.
Usage of JSON objects in python to create charts looks fairly simpler as shown in google sheets API docs here Does G-Sheets .NET libraries accept JSON objects as below? Switching to python is difficult at this stage of development, so I still want to code in C# anyways.
{
"requests": [
{
"addChart": {
"chart": {
"spec": {
"title": "Model Q1 Sales",
"basicChart": {
"chartType": "COLUMN",
"legendPosition": "BOTTOM_LEGEND",
"axis": [
{
"position": "BOTTOM_AXIS",
"title": "Model Numbers"
},
{
"position": "LEFT_AXIS",
"title": "Sales"
}
],
"domains": [
{
"domain": {
"sourceRange": {
"sources": [
{
"sheetId": sourceSheetId,
"startRowIndex": 0,
"endRowIndex": 7,
"startColumnIndex": 0,
"endColumnIndex": 1
}
]
}
}
}
],
"series": [
{
"series": {
"sourceRange": {
"sources": [
{
"sheetId": sourceSheetId,
"startRowIndex": 0,
"endRowIndex": 7,
"startColumnIndex": 1,
"endColumnIndex": 2
}
]
}
},
"targetAxis": "LEFT_AXIS"
},
{
"series": {
"sourceRange": {
"sources": [
{
"sheetId": sourceSheetId,
"startRowIndex": 0,
"endRowIndex": 7,
"startColumnIndex": 2,
"endColumnIndex": 3
}
]
}
},
"targetAxis": "LEFT_AXIS"
},
{
"series": {
"sourceRange": {
"sources": [
{
"sheetId": sourceSheetId,
"startRowIndex": 0,
"endRowIndex": 7,
"startColumnIndex": 3,
"endColumnIndex": 4
}
]
}
},
"targetAxis": "LEFT_AXIS"
}
],
"headerCount": 1
}
},
"position": {
"newSheet": true
}
}
}
}
]
}

Unfortunately what you want cannot be achieved as if you plan on using Sheets API with C# .NET you will have to make use of the C# objects.
As a workaround, you can always choose another technology for achieving your task.

Add a field into JSON array C#

Here is my json Array, i want to add a new field in array but i dont know how to loop it
{
"data": {
"pasca": [
{
"code": "PDI1231",
"name": "Water Bottle",
"status": 1,
"price": 2500,
"type": "plastic"
},
{
"code": "PDI9999",
"name": "Soccel Ball",
"status": 1,
"price": 99123,
"type": "plastic"
}
]
}
}
i want to add a new field in pasca array like this
"pasca": [
{
"code": "PDI1231",
"name": "Water Bottle",
"status": 1,
"price": 2500,
"type": "plastic",
"new_field_1": "new value_1",
"new_field_2": "new value_2"
}
]

If you are using Newtosoft's Json.NET it can be done as simple as that:
var jObj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(json);
foreach(var el in jObj["data"]["pasca"])
{
el["new_field_1"] = "new value_1";
}

MongoDb: Rename a property in a complex document

We have documents saving to MongoDb. The problem is that one of our sub-documents has an Id property that is getting returned as _id, which is causing serialize/deserialize issues with the C# driver due to how it interprets Id fields (see http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-csharp-driver/2.0/reference/bson/mapping/)
I would like to rename the property from Id to SetId, but our data is fairly dynamic and simple field rename solutions that I've seen elsewhere do not apply. Here's an example of some heavily edited simple data:
{
"Id": "5a6238dbccf20b38b0db6cf2",
"Title": "Simple Document",
"Layout": {
"Name": "Simple Document Layout",
"Tabs": [
{
"Name": "Tab1",
"Sections": [
{
"Name": "Tab1-Section1",
"Sets": [
{
"Id": 1
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
}
Compare with more complex data:
{
"Id": "5a6238dbccf20b38b0db6abc",
"Title": "Complex Document",
"Layout": {
"Name": "Complex Document Layout",
"Tabs": [
{
"Name": "Tab1",
"Sections": [
{
"Name": "Tab1-Section1",
"Sets": [
{
"Id": 1
}
]
},
{
"Name": "Tab1-Section2",
"Sets": [
{
"Id": 1
}
]
}
]
},
{
"Name": "Tab2",
"Sections": [
{
"Name": "Tab2-Section1",
"Sets": [
{
"Id": 1
}
]
}
]
},
{
"Name": "Tab3",
"Sections": [
{
"Name": "Tab3-Section1",
"Sets": [
{
"Id": 1
},
{
"Id": 2
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
}
Note that the Set.Id field can be on multiple tabs on multiple sections with multiple sets. I just don't know how to approach a query to handle renaming data at all these levels.

I took #Veerum's advice and did a manual iteration over the collection with something like this:
myCol = db.getCollection('myCol');
myCol.find({ "Layout.Tabs.Sections.Sets._id": {$exists: true} }).forEach(function(note) {
for(tab = 0; tab != note.Layout.Tabs.length; ++tab) {
for(section = 0; section != note.Layout.Tabs[tab].Sections.length; ++section) {
for(set = 0; set != note.Layout.Tabs[tab].Sections[section].Sets.length; ++set) {
note.Layout.Tabs[tab].Sections[section].Sets[set].SetId = NumberInt(note.Layout.Tabs[tab].Sections[section].Sets[set]._id);
delete note.Layout.Tabs[tab].Sections[section].Sets[set]._id
}
}
}
myCol.update({ _id: note._id }, note);
});
Perhaps there is a more efficient way, but we are still on Mongo v3.2 and it seems to work well.
