how to replace property values in a dynamic JSON?

I'm reading my json file from and trying to replace the property values. JSON file is below.
{
"fields": {
"summary": "summaryValue",
"project": {
"key": "projectValue"
},
"priority": {
"name": "priorityValue"
},
"Requestor": {
"name": "RequestorValue"
},
"issue": {
"name": "issueValue"
},
"labels": "LabelValue",
"customfield_xyz": "customfield_xyzValue"
}
}
How can I replace the value for each item inside the fields property ?
for ex:
{"fields": {
"summary": "NewsummaryValue",
"project": {
"key": "NewprojectValue"
},
"priority": {
"name": "NewpriorityValue"
}
}
}
Below is the code to parse my json file,
StreamReader r = new StreamReader(filepath);
var jsondata = r.ReadToEnd();
var jobj = JObject.Parse(jsondata);
foreach (var item in jobj.Properties())
{
\\replace code
}

I do not know exactly what you want. But I changed the json information in the code snippet as you wanted.
dynamic dataCollection = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(jsonData);
string summary = dataCollection["fields"]["summary"];
string project = dataCollection["fields"]["project"]["key"];
string priority = dataCollection["fields"]["priority"]["name"];
dynamic json = new JObject();
json.summary = summary;
json.project = project;
json.priority = priority;
dynamic jsonRoot = new JObject();
jsonRoot.fields = json;
Console.WriteLine(jsonRoot.ToString());
output:

Converting JSON code of Facebook's Generic Template to C# in Bot framework

This is what i tried in c# but it is not working. I am not sure if i converted it the proper way. Any help would be appreciated thank you.
Activity previewReply = stepContext.Context.Activity.CreateReply();
previewReply.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject(
new
{
attachment = new
{
type = "template",
payload = new
{
template_type = "generic",
elements = new
{
title = "title",
subtitle = "subtitle",
image_url = "https://thechangreport.com/img/lightning.png",
buttons = new object[]
{
new
{
type = "element_share,",
share_contents = new
{
attachment = new
{
type = "template",
payload = new
{
template_type = "generic",
elements = new
{

default_action = new

title = "Take Quiz",
},
},
},
},
},
},
},
},
},
},
});
await stepContext.Context.SendActivityAsync(previewReply);

The elements and buttons attributes need to be lists. Take a look at the example template below.
var attachment = new
{
type = "template",
payload = new
{
template_type = "generic",
elements = new []
{
new {
title = "title",
image_url = "https://thechangreport.com/img/lightning.png",
subtitle = "subtitle",
buttons = new object[]
{
new {
type = "element_share",
share_contents = new {
attachment = new {
type = "template",
payload = new
{
template_type = "generic",
elements = new []
{
new {
title = "title 2",
image_url = "https://thechangreport.com/img/lightning.png",
subtitle = "subtitle 2",
buttons = new object[]
{
new {
type = "web_url",
url = "http://m.me/petershats?ref=invited_by_24601",
title = "Take Quiz"
},
},
},
},
},
}
},
},
},
},
},
},
};
reply.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject(new { attachment });
Note, you only need to add a share_contents element to your template if your main template is different from the template you are trying to share. Otherwise, your button can just be new { type = "element_share" }, which makes the template far less complex.
Also, be sure to Whitelist all of your URLs and make sure all of the image URLs work properly - a couple of them weren't working properly. The template won't render if the URLs aren't Whitelisted and image links are broken.
Hope this helps!

give names to a var object in .net

just wondering I am using a web method to return some json data to a web form. anyway I don't want the entire class in json just two of the columns. so I used linq to get the columns here is an example.
IEnumerable<Person> model = new List<Person>
{
new Person { id = 1, Name = "Bryan", Phone = "218-0211", Email = "bryan#mail.mil" },
new Person { id = 2, Name = "Joe", Phone = "248-0241", Email = "joe#mail.mil" },
new Person { id = 3, Name = "Fred", Phone = "354-0441", Email = "fred#mail.mil" },
new Person { id = 4, Name = "Mary", Phone = "344-3451", Email = "mary#mail.mil" },
new Person { id = 5, Name = "Jill", Phone = "127-3451", Email = "jill#mail.mil" }
};
var mysubset = from a in model select new { a. Name, a.Email };
unfotunately when I then serialize my result and send it back I lose the column names. so data.name doesn't work so I was wondering can I give names to a var type? for example is there a way to do this?
var mysubset = from a in model select new { a. Name, a.Email };
string myname as string;
foreach (var item in mysubset)
{
myname = subset.Name;
}
ok here is the actual code sorry it is in vb but that is the project I inherited
Dim mycollection = From a in cmpnyList select {a.CmpnyName, a.ShipFrom}
return jsSerialize.Serialize(mycollection)
the json returned from that is
[{"Company A","New York"},{"Company B", "Harrisburg"}]
so I'm trying to get back something like
[{"CmpnyName":"Company A", "ShipFrom": "New York"},
{"CmpnyName": "Company B", "ShipFrom": "Harrisburg}]

I believe you're using json.net the answer would be something like this using jobject(newtonsoft.json.linq)
JObject o = new JObject(
new JProperty("PersonssList",
new JArray(
from p in model
select new JObject(
new JProperty("PersonName", p.Name),
new JProperty("Email", p.Email)))));
and the result would be this json
{
"PersonssList": [
{
"PersonName": "Bryan",
"Email": "bryan#mail.mil"
},
{
"PersonName": "Joe",
"Email": "joe#mail.mil"
},
{
"PersonName": "Fred",
"Email": "fred#mail.mil"
},
{
"PersonName": "Mary",
"Email": "mary#mail.mil"
},
{
"PersonName": "Jill",
"Email": "jill#mail.mil"
}
]

get Contacts based on Account in SugarCRM REST API in C# .Net

i want to retrieve all contacts based on account in sugarcrm rest api using C# .net
i have tried
json = serializer.Serialize(new
{
session = sessionId,
module_name = "accounts",
query = "",
order_by = "",
offset = "0",
select_fields = "",
link_name_to_fields_array = "",
max_results = "2000",
deleted = 0
});
values = new NameValueCollection();
values["method"] = "get_entry_list";
values["input_type"] = "json";
values["response_type"] = "json";
values["rest_data"] = json;
response = client.UploadValues(sugarUrl, values);
responseString = Encoding.Default.GetString(response);
var accountsList = serializer.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, dynamic>>(responseString);
i am able to get all accounts and contacts but i am not getting relations between them i.e which contact belong to which account
Thanks for help in advance
UPDATE :
object[] linkNameToFieldsArray = new object[1]
{
new object[2, 2]
{
{ "name", "contacts" },
{ "value", new string[2]
{ "id", "last_name"
}
}
};
json = serializer.Serialize(new
{
session = sessionId,
module_name = "accounts",
query = "",
order_by = "",
offset = "0",
select_fields = "",
link_name_to_fields_array = linkNameToFieldsArray , ***//just added this to get related records***
max_results = "2000",
deleted = 0
});
values = new NameValueCollection();
values["method"] = "get_entry_list";
values["input_type"] = "json";
values["response_type"] = "json";
values["rest_data"] = json;
response = client.UploadValues(sugarUrl, values);
responseString = Encoding.Default.GetString(response);
var accountsList = serializer.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, dynamic>>(responseString);

Assuming a SugarCRM 6.4 or 6.5 system and API version REST v4_1...
I don't know the C#/.NET syntax/lingo, but 'link_name_to_fields_array' needs to be an array with keys of module names (e.g. "Contacts") and values that are arrays of the fields you want. The JSON would look like this:
{
"session":"asdfasdfsrf9ebp7jrr71nrth5",
"module_name":"Accounts",
"query":"",
"order_by":null,
"offset":0,
"select_fields":[
"id",
"name"
],
"link_name_to_fields_array":[
{
"name":"contacts",
"value":[
"id",
"last_name"
]
}
],
"max_results":"2",
"deleted":false
}
Also - I wrote this to help non PHP-devs interact with this version of the API, since documention is largely PHP based. You may find it useful: https://gist.github.com/matthewpoer/b9366ca4197a521a600f

How can I deserialize JSON and pull out a certain value?

I have my JSON in a string. How can I use JavascriptSerializer to deserialize it and find the value of SSOID?
{
"Addresses": [
{
"Address": "123 Test Road",
"State": "Mississippi"
}
],
"Birthdate": "April 12 2012",
"CreateDate": "April 13 2012",
"IDs": [
{
"isDefault": false,
"PurchaseID": "883"
}
],
"Sex": "Male",
"SSOID": 23444,
"Suffix": null,
"BoardID": 4324
}

In this particular case:
string s = "your json string";
System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer js = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
var obj = js.DeserializeObject(s) as Dictionary<string,object>;
int ssoid = (int)obj["SSOID"];

var js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var deserialized = (Dictionary<string, object>) js.DeserializeObject(json);
var ssoid = (int) deserialized["SSOID"];

var SSOID = new JavaScriptSerializer()
.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(json)["SSOID"];
OR
dynamic jObj = new JavaScriptSerializer().DeserializeObject(json);
var SSOID = jObj["SSOID"];
