System.Text.Json - failing to deserialize a REST response

I'm trying to implement the following API Endpoint. Due to the fact, System.Text.Json is now preferred over Newtonsoft.Json, I decided to try it. The response clearly works, but the deserialization doesn't.
Response
https://pastebin.com/VhDw5Rsg (Pastebin because it exceeds the limits)
Issue
I pasted the response into an online converter and it used to work for a bit, but then it broke again once I put the comments.
How do I fix it? I would also like to throw an exception if it fails to deserialize it.

System.Text.Json is implemented quite different compared to Newtonsoft.Json. It is written to be first and foremost a very fast (de)serializer, and try to be allocation-free as much as possible.
However, it also comes with its own set of limitations, and one of those limitations is that out of the box it's a bit more rigid in what it supports.
Let's look at your JSON:
{"makerCommission":10,"takerCommission":10,"buyerCommission":0,
"sellerCommission":0,"canTrade":true,"canWithdraw":true,"canDeposit":true,
"updateTime":1636983729026,"accountType":"SPOT",
"balances":[{"asset":"BTC","free":"0.00000000","locked":"0.00000000"},
{"asset":"LTC","free":"0.00000000","locked":"0.00000000"},
(reformatted and cut for example purposes)
There's two issues here that needs to be resolved:
The properties in the JSON is written with a lowercase first letter. This will simply not match the properties in your .NET Types out of the box.
The values for free and locked are strings in the JSON but typed as decimal in your .NET types.
To fix these, your deserialization code needs to tell System.Text.Json how to deal with them, and this is how:
var options = new System.Text.Json.JsonSerializerOptions
{
PropertyNameCaseInsensitive = true,
NumberHandling = JsonNumberHandling.AllowReadingFromString
};
And then you pass this object in through the deserialization method, like this:
… = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<AccountInformation>(response.Content, options);
This should properly deserialize this content into your objects.

The shipping method is saved as a GenericAttribute of the current customer. So, you can get via IGenericAttributeService (if you don't inject it in your PaymentProcessor class, you have to inject it). If we assume that the system name of your intended shipping method is "Nop.Shipping.PickupInStore", then we can hide the payment method like this:
public bool HidePaymentMethod(IList<ShoppingCartItem> cart)
{
var customer = cart.FirstOrDefault(item => item.Customer != null)?.Customer;
ShippingOption shippingOption = _genericAttributeService.GetAttribute<ShippingOption>(customer, NopCustomerDefaults.SelectedShippingOptionAttribute, _storeContext.CurrentStore.Id);
var shippingMethodSystemName = "Nop.Shipping.PickupInStore";
if (shippingOption!= null && shippingOption.ShippingRateComputationMethodSystemName.Equals(shippingMethodSystemName))
return true;
return false;

Custom Model Binding in Asp .Net Core

i'm trying to bind a model with a IFormFile or IFormFileCollection property to my custom class CommonFile. i have not found so much documentation on internet about it using asp .net core, i tried to follow this link Custom Model Binding in ASP.Net Core 1.0
but it is binding a SimpleType property and i need to bind a complex type. Anyway i tried to make my version of this binding and i've got the following code:
FormFileModelBinderProvider.cs
public class FormFileModelBinderProvider : IModelBinderProvider
{
public IModelBinder GetBinder(ModelBinderProviderContext context)
{
if (context == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(context));
if (!context.Metadata.IsComplexType) return null;
var isIEnumerableFormFiles = context.Metadata.ModelType.GetInterfaces().Contains(typeof(IEnumerable<CommonFile>));
var isFormFile = context.Metadata.ModelType.IsAssignableFrom(typeof(CommonFile));
if (!isFormFile && !isIEnumerableFormFiles) return null;
var propertyBinders = context.Metadata.Properties.ToDictionary(property => property,
context.CreateBinder);
return new FormFileModelBinder(propertyBinders);
}
}
FromFileModelBinder.cs
the following code is incomplete because i'm not getting any result with bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bindingContext.ModelName); while i'm debugging everything is going well until bindingContext.ModelName has no a value and i can't bind my model From httpContext to Strongly typed Models.
public class FormFileModelBinder : IModelBinder
{
private readonly ComplexTypeModelBinder _baseBinder;
public FormFileModelBinder(IDictionary<ModelMetadata, IModelBinder> propertyBinders)
{
_baseBinder = new ComplexTypeModelBinder(propertyBinders);
}
public Task BindModelAsync(ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
{
if (bindingContext == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(bindingContext));
var valueProviderResult = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(bindingContext.ModelName);
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
}
Any suggestions?

After 10 months i found a solution of that i wanted to do.
In Summary: I Want to replace IFormFile IFormFileCollection with my own classes not attached to Asp .Net because my view models are in different project with poco classes. My custom classes are ICommonFile, ICommonFileCollection, IFormFile (not Asp .net core class) and IFormFileCollection.
i will share it here:

Actually Everything is working good except when i have Nested Models. I share an example of my models I'm using and I'll do some comments with working scenarios and which don't

Actually when i make a request to my API I've got the following (Screenshot):
I'm sharing a screenshot of my postman request too for clarifying my request is good.
If there is any subjection to make this work with nested model it would be great.
UPDATE
Asp Net Core Model Binder won't bind model with one property only, if you have one property in a class, that property will be null but when you add two or more will bind it. my mistake i had one one property in a nested class. The entire code is correct.

Strange issue using PropertyInfo in C#

I have a class like so:
public class CompanyData
{
# region Properties
/// <summary>
/// string CompanyNumber
/// </summary>
private string strCompanyNumber;
/// <summary>
/// string CompanyName
/// </summary>
private string strCompanyName;
[Info("companynumber")]
public string CompanyNumber
{
get
{
return this.strCompanyNumber;
}
set
{
this.strCompanyNumber = value;
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets CompanyName
/// </summary>
[Info("companyName")]
public string CompanyName
{
get
{
return this.strCompanyName;
}
set
{
this.strCompanyName = value;
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the CompanyData class
/// </summary>
public CompanyData()
{
}
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the CompanyData class
/// </summary>
/// <param name="other"> object company data</param>
public CompanyData(CompanyData other)
{
this.Init(other);
}
/// <summary>
/// sets the Company data attributes
/// </summary>
/// <param name="other">object company data</param>
protected void Init(CompanyData other)
{
this.CompanyNumber = other.CompanyNumber;
this.CompanyName = other.CompanyName;
}
/// <summary>
/// Getting array of entity properties
/// </summary>
/// <returns>An array of PropertyInformation</returns>
public PropertyInfo[] GetEntityProperties()
{
PropertyInfo[] thisPropertyInfo;
thisPropertyInfo = this.GetType().GetProperties();
return thisPropertyInfo;
}
}
A csv file is read and a collection of CompanyData objects is created
In this method I am trying to get properties and values:
private void GetPropertiesAndValues(List<CompanyData> resList)
{
foreach (CompanyData resRow in resList)
{
this.getProperties = resRow.ExternalSyncEntity.GetEntityProperties();
this.getValues = resRow.ExternalSyncEntity.GetEntityValue(resRow.ExternalSyncEntity);
}
}
Here's the problem, for the first object the GetEntityProperties() returns the CompanyNumber as the first element in the array. For the remaining objects it returns CompanyName as the first element.
Why is the sequence not consistent?
Regards.

The Type.GetProperties() does not return ordered result.
The GetProperties method does not return properties in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which properties are returned, because that order varies.
If you want to use ordered/consistent result, it is better to sort the returned array.

Can I create a List<Class<T>>?

I have a class
public class Setting<T>
{
public string name { get; set; }
public T value { get; set; }
}
now I want to create an IList<Setting<T>> but with different types of Setting<T>'s T in it, I want e.G.
List<Setting<T>> settingsList;
settingsList.Add(new Setting<int>());
settingsList.Add(new Setting<string>());
I've tried IList<Setting<T>> but this seems not possible since the compiler doesn't find Type T.
I know that I could use object but I want it to be strongly typed. So my question is if there is a possibility of getting this working.

Generic types do not have a common type or interface amongst concrete definitions by default.
Have your Setting<T> class implement an interface (or derive from a common class) and create a list of that interface (or class).
public interface ISetting { }
public class Setting<T> : ISetting
{
// ...
}
// example usage:
IList<ISetting> list = new List<ISetting>
{
new Setting<int> { name = "foo", value = 2 },
new Setting<string> { name = "bar", value "baz" },
};

You have to use a common ancestor class for all the class types that you put into the list. If it should be arbitrary types you have to use object for T

You can use T only inside your class:
class Setting<T>
{
// T is defined here
}
not outside. Outside you need to specify the concrete type:
Settings<string> stringSettings = new Settings<string>();
or
List<Settings<string>> list = new List<Settings<string>>();
list.Add(stringSettings);

ye you can do it by using reflection
i wrote such code for another question but you can use this
public abstract class GenericAccess
{
public static IList<T> GetObjectListFromArray<T>(T item)
{
var r = new List<T>();
var obj = typeof(T).Assembly.CreateInstance(typeof(T).FullName);
var p = obj.GetType().GetProperty("Id", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.IgnoreCase | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance);
if (p != null)
{
p.SetValue(obj, item, null);
var m = r.GetType().GetMethod("Add");
m.Invoke(r, new object[] { obj });
}
return r;
}
}
and call it like this
IList<int> r = GenericAccess.GetObjectListFromArray<int>(1);
