Deserialize json formatted string on server side

Question

I am sending my array of arrays from the client to the server. Using jQuery ajax method after stringify like this

JSON.stringify({ list: FinalList })

and on the server side I am getting it like this

{\"list\":[[\"Full Name\"],[\"Select any one\",\"Option 1\",\"Option 2\",\"Option 3\"],[\"address\"],[\"contact name\"]]}

But I am not able to change it to the original form again. I tried using JavaScriptSerializer but I was not able to get the required result. It's giving me an object.

How I will deserialize it to it's original form?

So you tried using JavaScriptSerializer.Deserialize(Of T) Method (String)?? msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb355316.aspx — Ric

The Deserialize< T >(String) method in JavaScriptSerializer requires a Type parameter, which tells it which type to deserialize to.

You must have a class which has the same structure as your javascript object (has a List or Array property which name is "list"), like MyType. Then use Deserialize< MyType >(text) to get the correct MyType instance.

And the MyType class should be like this:

public class MyType
{
    public IList<string[]> List { get; set; }
}

I had a similar issue that ended up requiring a different solution. I had a complex model with several nested models within, and while I had default/parameterless constructors (it actually gives you a nice 500 error if you don't) I did not new up my nested models within the default constructor. As soon as I instantiated each of these within each of my default constructors, the deserializer was able to build my object perfectly.
