Auto mapper makes error when mapping class with another class properties - c#

I have following two class structures, its CASADetialsResponse as follows,
public class CASADetialsResponse
{
public string status { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public List<object> validation { get; set; }
public Data data { get; set; }
}
public class LinkedCard
{
public string cardNumber { get; set; }
}
public class JointParty
{
public string jointName { get; set; }
}
public class Account
{
public string accountNumber { get; set; }
public string accountNickName { get; set; }
public List<LinkedCard> linkedCards { get; set; }
public List<JointParty> jointParty { get; set; }
public List<object> productValidation { get; set; }
}
public class Transaction
{
public string accountNumber { get; set; }
public string valueDate { get; set; }
public string transactionDetails { get; set; }
public string postDate { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public Account account { get; set; }
public List<Transaction> transactions { get; set; }
}
And the CASADetails class structure as follows,
public class CASADetails
{
public string status { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
public List<object> validation { get; set; }
public Data data { get; set; }
}
public class LinkedCard
{
public string cardNumber { get; set; }
}
public class JointParty
{
public string jointName { get; set; }
}
public class Account
{
public string accountNumber { get; set; }
public string accountNickName { get; set; }
public List<LinkedCard> linkedCards { get; set; }
public List<JointParty> jointParty { get; set; }
public List<object> productValidation { get; set; }
}
public class Transaction
{
public string accountNumber { get; set; }
public string valueDate { get; set; }
public string transactionDetails { get; set; }
public string postDate { get; set; }
}
public class Data
{
public Account account { get; set; }
public List<Transaction> transactions { get; set; }
}
When I use _mapper.Map<CASADetialsResponse>(casaResponse); I'm getting this error:
Error mapping types:
Mapping types:
CASADetails -> CASADetialsResponse
AccountManagement.Domain.CASADetails -> AccountManagement.Application.Dtos.CASADetails.CASADetialsResponse
Type Map configuration:
CASADetails -> CASADetialsResponse
AccountManagement.Domain.CASADetails -> AccountManagement.Application.Dtos.CASADetails.CASADetialsResponse
Destination Member:
data
This is how I map the two classes,
public class CASADetailsProfile : Profile
{
public CASADetailsProfile()
{
// Source -> Target
CreateMap<CASADetialsRequest, CASADetails>();
CreateMap<CASADetails, CASADetialsResponse>();
}
}
I just commented the public Data data { get; set; } from the both classes, and without any error its worked. I think problem is with that line. may I know the reason? please help me


The namespace for Data class is different, even though their content is the same.
Delete these
and refer to source Data class namespace or
If you don't want to delete them, add the following configuration
public class CASADetailsProfile: Profile
{
public CASADetailsProfile()
{
// Source -> Target
CreateMap<CASADetialsRequest, CASADetails>();
CreateMap<CASADetails, CASADetialsResponse>();
CreateMap<Sources.Data, Destinations.Data>();
CreateMap<Sources.Account, Destinations.Account>();
CreateMap<Sources.Transaction, Destinations.Transaction>();
CreateMap<Sources.LinkedCard, Destinations.LinkedCard>();
CreateMap<Sources.JointParty, Destinations.JointParty>();
}
}
Change Sources namespace and Destinations namespace to the namespace that you have

Deserializing Server returned String to JSON

I am using the SharePoint REST API to do a search. I am pulling back the JSON results and reading them as follows:
HttpWebRequest endpointRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(querystring);
endpointRequest.Method = "GET";
endpointRequest.Accept = "application/json; odata=verbose";
endpointRequest.UseDefaultCredentials = true;
HttpWebResponse endpointResponse =(HttpWebResponse)endpointRequest.GetResponse();
Stream webStream = endpointResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader responseReader = new StreamReader(webStream);
var results = responseReader.ReadToEnd();
This works fine, I can see the results in JSON format. So I created a class from the JSON in VS 2017 and here is the classes created from the JSON (this was done automatically with File=>Paste Special=>Paste JSON As Classes:

So I now am trying to deserialize the results as follows:
SharePointRESTResults resultX = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SharePointRESTResults>(results());
The results I need should be in the Result2 Class. The problem I have is that this line is setting resultX = to "ConsoleApplication1.SharePointRESTResults" and nothing more. I looked in the JSON Serializing and Deserializing here: JSON Documentation but still cannot get the results into the class so I can pull out the data. I appreciate any help.

The main points are -
The Account Declaration.
JsonProperty attribute.
NOTE : If you have an object Which keys can change, Then you need to use a
Dictionary<string, T>
. A regular class won't work for that; neither will a
List<T>
.

Noob C# Class Declaration Issue

So I created a class using json2csharp
public class ResponseType
{
public class Query
{
public string q { get; set; }
public object sku { get; set; }
public int limit { get; set; }
public object reference { get; set; }
public object mpn_or_sku { get; set; }
public string mpn { get; set; }
public object brand { get; set; }

{

}

public string homepage_url { get; set; }
public string id { get; set; }
public string uid { get; set; }
}
public class Prices
{
public List<List<object>> USD { get; set; }
public List<List<object>> JPY { get; set; }
public List<List<object>> CNY { get; set; }
}
public class Offer
{
public string sku { get; set; }
public string packaging { get; set; }
public string on_order_eta { get; set; }
public string last_updated { get; set; }
public int? order_multiple { get; set; }
public int in_stock_quantity { get; set; }
public string eligible_region { get; set; }
public int? moq { get; set; }

public string __class__ { get; set; }
public Seller seller { get; set; }
public string product_url { get; set; }
public object factory_order_multiple { get; set; }
public string _naive_id { get; set; }
public int? factory_lead_days { get; set; }
public Prices prices { get; set; }
public bool is_authorized { get; set; }
public bool is_realtime { get; set; }
}
public class Brand
{
public string homepage_url { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string uid { get; set; }
}
public class Manufacturer
{
public string homepage_url { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }

}
public class Item
{
public List<Offer> offers { get; set; }

public string mpn { get; set; }
public List<object> redirected_uids { get; set; }
public Brand brand { get; set; }
public string octopart_url { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public Manufacturer manufacturer { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
public List<Item> items { get; set; }
public int hits { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public object reference { get; set; }
public object error { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public int msec { get; set; }
public Request request { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public List<Result> results { get; set; }
}
}
The problem is at design-time, when I declare a variable with the type of my class:
ResponseType Response = new ResponseType();
Intellisense does not allow me to access the subclasses RootObject.results list. It only shows Equals, GetHashCode, GetType and ToString. I am assuming I did something wrong in my class declaration.
Thank you in advance!
Edit -- I am fairly new to C Sharp. I am trying to parse a response from a REST API. I took the JSON provided by the Rest API and converted it using json2csharp into a class. My intent was to do something like this
Within a function return:
public ResponseType ExecuteSearch(String PartNumber)
{
~ ALL CODE FOR GENERATING req
// Perform the search and obtain results
var data = client.Execute(req).Content;
JSON = data;
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ResponseType>(data);
}
Then being able to access the response as an object outside of the function
Edit 2:
I figured out what I did. Instead of nesting everything within the ResponseType I should have simply renamed RootObject to ResponseType.

Intellisense does not allow me to access the subclasses RootObject.results list
it is because the property results is not static and you try to acces it this way. A static property is accessed via ClassName.PropertyName. For more information on static variables check the link.
It only shows Equals, GetHashCode, GetType and ToString
This is the basic set of methods that every object in C# inherits from the class object. This is why you can see it.
Intellisense will allow you to do this:
ResponseType.RootObject ro = new ResponseType.RootObject();
ro.results.First();
because you will need an Instance of that class to acces the property results.
I am assuming I did something wrong in my class declaration.
It depends. Basically if the compiler does not complain then you declared your classes as supposed to be. But the declaration of the properties commands you to access them in a specific way. So if you still want to access results with RootObject.results you need to make it static:
public class RootObject
{
public static List<Result> results { get; set; }
}
But note that this list will exist only once! and is not individual to each instance of RootObject! Since you have embedded classes you need to call it like this:
ResponseType.RootObject.results.WhatEver();
EDIT
I guess you would like to get the Object of type RootObject inside the Object of type ResponseType. If I am right then it is not necessary to declare the classes inside ResponseType but you have to declare variables of each type inside it like:
public class ResponseType
{
public RootObject MyRootObject{ get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public int msec { get; set; }
public Request request { get; set; }
public string __class__ { get; set; }
public List<Result> results { get; set; }
}
Now you will be able to access the results variable inside the ResponseType object:
ResponseType rt = new ResponseType();
rt.MyRootObject.results.WhatEver();
For more information on how to deserialize JSON to classes please read the Deserialize JSON to C# Classes post

1) Object with ResponseType class isn't contain any fields(event static one).
2) You declare ResponseType object, but results is field of RootObject object.
So if you want to work with results you should do something like this:
ResponseType.RootObject rootObject = new ResponseType.RootObject();
rootObject.results.DoWork();

Below is what I think you are trying to do. I would only use it in this form if this is some kind of Data Transfer Object (DTO) because otherwise it is pretty bad practice for a class that would be used in code (mostly because of the public getters and setters on all of the fields and the field names matching the class name), but it does show your main mistake and that is that classes need to be defined outside of your main class and if you need that type of class in your top level class you need to define a public field to access it.

Not getting object data from Json deserialization

I am getting Json data from a web server, but when I try to deserialize it to objects, I am not getting any data. The Json string looks like this:

I created these classes from the recommendation given in this link:
recommendation
I used this to create the classes: json2csharp
Response class:
class Response
{
bool success;
IList<Customer> data;
}
Customer class:
class Customer
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string CustomerGuid { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public List<CustomerRole> CustomerRoles { get; set; }

}
CustomerRole class:

{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int CustomerId { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }

public int StoreId { get; set; }
public int ShoppingCartTypeId { get; set; }
public int CustomerId { get; set; }
public int ProductId { get; set; }
public object AttributesXml { get; set; }
public double CustomerEnteredPrice { get; set; }
public int Quantity { get; set; }
public DateTime CreatedOnUtc { get; set; }
public DateTime UpdatedOnUtc { get; set; }
public bool IsFreeShipping { get; set; }
public bool IsShipEnabled { get; set; }
public double AdditionalShippingCharge { get; set; }
public bool IsTaxExempt { get; set; }
}
I am using this statement to deserialzie the Json string: Response res = (Response)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(customerJson, (typeof(Response)));
When I stop it in the debugger, it shows "res" as data: null and success: false.
I am not getting any errors. It is just not giving me the data from the Json string.
Any help that anybody can provide to figure out why I'm not getting the data I want in "res", would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

The problem is related to the accessibility level in your Response class. By default the fields, property and method are private so JsonConvert is not able to fill the properties.
Change the class as follow:
class Response
{
public bool success {get; set;}
public IList<Customer> data {get; set;}
}
And it wil works.
Another improvement is related to the JsonConvert use. To avoid the explicit cast use this type conversion: JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(string) where T will be Response

AutoMapper Not Mapping... No Errors Thrown

Model:
namespace SO.Models
{
public class CustomerSearchResult : BindableBase
{
public int CustomerId { get; set; }
public string AccountType { get; set; }
public string ShortName { get; set; }
public string LegacyName { get; set; }
public string LegacyContactName { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string StateAbbreviation { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
public string PostalCode { get; set; }
}
}
Extension method:
public static class DtoMappingExtensions
{
public static List<CustomerSearchResult> ToModels(this List<SO.Services.Data.ServiceModel.Types.CustomerSearchResult> customerSearchList)
{
return Mapper.Map<List<SO.Services.Data.ServiceModel.Types.CustomerSearchResult>, List<CustomerSearchResult>>(customerSearchList);
}
}
I call a servicestack service which returns a List<SO.Services.Data.ServiceModel.Types.CustomerSearchResult> ... when I use the ToModels extension method against it, it returns a List with 0 records, even though the source list had 25k or so records.
I'm stumped.

In your CreateMaps() you would specify the object mappings, not the list mapping.
Mapper.CreateMap<SO.Services.Data.ServiceModel.Types.CustomerSearchResult, CustomerSearchResult>().ReverseMap();
And then in your ToModels() you do
Mapper.Map<List<CustomerSearchResult>, List<SO.Services.Data.ServiceModel.Types.CustomerSearchResult>>(customerSearchList);

I think the problem is here in this line.
Mapper.CreateMap<List<SO.Services.Data.ServiceModel.Types.CustomerSearchResult>, List<CustomerSearchResult>>();
this statement has no need because the AutoMapper will handle the Mapping of the list automatically when you Map the Classes.
I think you should replace the previous statement with this one
Mapper.CreateMap<SO.Services.Data.ServiceModel.Types.CustomerSearchResult, CustomerSearchResult>();

Json.Net Deserialize Returning Nulls

I'm using the Petfinder API and trying to return a root object in my C# code. I used the Json class generator to generate the classes, but the Deserialize function is returning nulls.
This is my C# code:
using (var client = new WebClient())
{
var json = new WebClient().DownloadString("http://api.petfinder.com/shelter.getPets?format=json&key=<key>&id=<id>");
Petfinder deserializedPet = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Petfinder>(json);
}
The Petfinder object is defined as:
internal class Petfinder
{
[JsonProperty("#xmlns:xsi")]
public string XmlnsXsi { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("lastOffset")]
public LastOffset LastOffset { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("pets")]
public Pets Pets { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("header")]
public Header Header { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("#xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation")]
public string XsiNoNamespaceSchemaLocation { get; set; }
}
The first few lines of the json string is as follows:
{"#encoding":"iso-8859-1","#version":"1.0","petfinder":{"#xmlns:xsi":"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance","lastOffset":{"$t":"25"},"pets":{"pet":[{"options":{"option":[{"$t":"hasShots"},{"$t":"altered"},{"$t":"housetrained"}]},"breeds":{"breed":{"$t":"Domestic Medium Hair"}},"shelterPetId":{},"status":{"$t":"A"},"name":{"$t":"Jasmine"},...
If that helps at all.
I'm a newbie to json.net. What am I doing wrong?

Your class is wrong, take a look at the output from json2csharp.com for the example json you provided. Obviously the __invalid_name_$t needs to be manually fixed and the mapped using [JsonProperty].
public class LastOffset
{
public string __invalid_name__$t { get; set; }
}
public class Option
{
public string __invalid_name__$t { get; set; }
}
public class Options
{
public List<Option> option { get; set; }
}
public class Breed
{
public string __invalid_name__$t { get; set; }
}
public class Breeds
{
public Breed breed { get; set; }
}
public class ShelterPetId
{
}
public class Status
{
public string __invalid_name__$t { get; set; }
}
public class Name
{
public string __invalid_name__$t { get; set; }
}
public class Pet
{
public Options options { get; set; }
public Breeds breeds { get; set; }
public ShelterPetId shelterPetId { get; set; }
public Status status { get; set; }
public Name name { get; set; }
}
public class Pets
{
public List<Pet> pet { get; set; }
}
public class Petfinder
{
public string __invalid_name__#xmlns:xsi { get; set; }
public LastOffset lastOffset { get; set; }
public Pets pets { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public string __invalid_name__#encoding { get; set; }
public string __invalid_name__#version { get; set; }
public Petfinder petfinder { get; set; }
}
