read JSON Response in C# Xamarin.Forms

Question

I'm reading the response from a webservice in my xamarin.forms android app, below is the response which contains status (0-error, 1-OK) message & info (info contains datarows from datatable)

{
"status": 1,
"msg" : "OK",
"info": {
"UCode": "1",
"UName": "Admin",
"UPass": "pass"
}
}

I'm able to read status & msg.

How can I convert Data from node info into Observable Collection of class User_Info?

Here is my code

            try
            {
                using (var client = new HttpClient())
                {
                    var url = GSVar.hostname + GSVar.user_check;
                    var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
                    {
                        new KeyValuePair<string,string>("uname",T1.Text),
                        new KeyValuePair<string, string>("upass",T2.Text)
                    });

                    var resp = await client.PostAsync(new Uri(url), content);
                    //var resp = await client.GetAsync(new Uri(url));
                    if (resp.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                    {
                        var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Json_Respnce>(resp.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);
                        if (result.status == 0)
                            General.GSErr(result.msg);
                        else
                        {
                            //User_Info user_info = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<User_Info>(result.UserInfo);
                            //await DisplayAlert("OK", result.UserInfo.ToString(), "OK");
                        }
                    }
                    else
                        General.GSErr("Nothing retrieved from server.");
                }
            }
            catch { throw; }

List Classes

class Json_Respnce
{
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName ="status")]
    public int status { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "msg")]
    public string msg { get; set; }

    //[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "info")]
    //public string UserInfo { get; set; }
}

class User_Info
{
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "UCode")]
    public string UCode { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "UName")]
    public string UName { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "UPass")]
    public string UPass { get; set; }
}

Are you sure you require the info to be cast to an ObservableCollection? Because the json uses an object not an array which would typically be cast to a list type. — Anth12

Create the required model classes. You can use json2csharp. Just paste your JSON string there and click Generate

public class Info
{
    public string UCode { get; set; }
    public string UName { get; set; }
    public string UPass { get; set; }
}

public class Response
{
    public int status { get; set; }
    public string msg { get; set; }
    public Info info { get; set; }
}

Then your can deserialise your JSON string as:

string jsonString = await resp.Content.ReadAsStringAsync ();
Response response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Response> (jsonString));

if (response.status == 1) {
    Info info = response.info
}
