Json Mapping and serializing in C# -

i'm trying map json string similar in c# object. purpose send cilent side (it's jquery application) wondering whether i'm doing right ?

{"tasks":[         {             "id":-1,             "name":"gantt editor",             "code":"",             "level":0,             "status":"status_active",             "start":1372608000000,             "duration":21,             "end":1375113599999,             "startismilestone":true,             "endismilestone":false,             "collapsed":false,             "assigs":[]         },         {             "id":"tmp_fk1372575559620",             "name":"release",             "code":"",             "level":1,             "status":"status_active",             "start":1372608000000,             "duration":1,             "end":1372694399999,             "startismilestone":false,             "endismilestone":false,             "collapsed":false,             "assigs":[]         }         ], "selectedrow":8, "deletedtaskids":[], "resources":     [         {         "id":"tmp_1",         "name":"resource 1"         }     ], "roles":[         {             "id":"tmp_1",             "name":"project manager"         }         ], "canwrite":true, "canwriteonparent":true } 

and how mapped

public class attributes     {             public list<task> _task { get; set; }         public list<resource> _resource { get; set; }         public list<role> _role { get; set; }         public bool _canwrite { get; set; }                      //"canwrite":true,         public bool _canwriteonparent { get; set; }              //"canwriteonparent":true,         public bool _selectedrow { get; set; }                   //"selectedrow":0,         public string [] _deletedtaskids { get; set; }           //"deletedtaskids":[],     }      public class task     {         private string _id { get; set; }         private string _name { get; set; }         private string _code { get; set; }         private int _level { get; set; }         private string _status { get; set; }         private int _start { get; set; }              //“start”:1348696800000,         private int _duration { get; set; }           //“duration”:10,         private int _end { get; set; }                //“end”:1349906399999,         private bool _startismilestone { get; set; }  //“startismilestone”:false,         private bool _endismilestone { get; set; }    //“endismilestone”:false,         public list<assign> _assigns { get; set; }    //“assigs”:[…],         private string _depends { get; set; }         //“depends”:”7:3,8″,         private string _description { get; set; }     //“description”:”approval of testing”,         private int _progress { get; set; }           //“progress”:20     }      public class assign      {         private string _resourceid { get; set; }      //“resourceid”:”tmp_1″,         private string _id { get; set; }              //“id”:”tmp_1345560373990″,         private string _roleid { get; set; }          //“roleid”:”tmp_1″,         private string _effort { get; set; }          //“effort”:36000000      }      public class resource     {         private string _id { get; set; }              //“id”:”tmp_1″,         private string _name { get; set; }            //“name”:”resource 1″     }      public class role     {         private string _id { get; set; }              //“id”:”tmp_1″,         private string _name { get; set; }            //“name”:”project manager”     } 

if i'm doing right, how can serialize object , send in order send client side ?

here link fantastic tool maps json c#, here mapping should like:

public class task {     public object id { get; set; }     public string name { get; set; }     public string code { get; set; }     public int level { get; set; }     public string status { get; set; }     public object start { get; set; }     public int duration { get; set; }     public object end { get; set; }     public bool startismilestone { get; set; }     public bool endismilestone { get; set; }     public bool collapsed { get; set; }     public list<object> assigs { get; set; } }  public class resource {     public string id { get; set; }     public string name { get; set; } }  public class role {     public string id { get; set; }     public string name { get; set; } }  public class rootobject {     public list<task> tasks { get; set; }     public int selectedrow { get; set; }     public list<object> deletedtaskids { get; set; }     public list<resource> resources { get; set; }     public list<role> roles { get; set; }     public bool canwrite { get; set; }     public bool canwriteonparent { get; set; } } 

there slick way of mapping json c# (i believe comes visual studio 2012 -> web essentials), can go edit-> paste special-> paste json classes

edit

since you've asked using json.net (you can nuget) can deserialize json this:

rootobject deserialized = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<rootobject>(data);
