error getting the api key using restsharp

Question

I was not able to retrieve my api key and user id. I used the Console.WriteLine to check my values, and they were just empty. Shouldn't I be able to retrieve those values?

var client = new RestClient("http://myproject/");
                var request = new RestRequest("api/ApiKey?email=" + email + "&password=" + password, Method.GET);

                var queryResult = client.Execute(request);

                if (queryResult.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
                {
                    var deserial = new JsonDeserializer();
                    var x = deserial.Deserialize<ApiKey>(queryResult);

                    Application.Current.Properties["ApiKey"] = x.UserApiKey;
                    Application.Current.Properties ["UserId"] = x.UserId;

                    Console.WriteLine ("here");
                    Console.WriteLine ("key:"+x.UserApiKey);
                    //do this
                }
                else
                {
                    // do this

                }

did you check queryResult.Content in debug? what does it hold? — Omri Btian

@Omribitan : Yes and it holds: {"ApiKey":"rY88liT/BE98t2e3SLXnCQ==","UserId":1} — Aabi Regmi

If queryResult.Content holds the following json structure:

 {
     "ApiKey":"rY88liT/BE98t2e3SLXnCQ==",
     "UserId":1
 }

The object you are deserializing to should look like this:

public class ApiKeyOjbect
{
     public string ApiKey { get; set; }
     public string UserId { get; set; }
}

And an esier way to do it would be to serialize the result directly

var queryResult = client.Execute<ApiKeyOjbect>(request);
