Cannot deserialize RestResponse with RestSharp C#

Question

I am trying to deserialize JSON to C# object but not able to get rid of this compiler error. Any help would be much appreciated.

JSON

{
  AX:{BX:1777} 
}

Here are my deserializer classes:

Response.cs

{
    public class Response
    {
        public AX Ax { get; set; }
    }
}

AX.cs

{
    public class AX
    {
        public long Bx { get; set; }
    }
}

Here is the line that is problematic:

IRestResponse<Response> response = client.Execute<Response>(request);

response.Content is just as fine and returns the raw JSON but I want it to be an instance of the Response class. I want to access Bx like this:

var price = response.Ax.Bx; // should return 1777

But this line produces the following compiler error:

Error: IRestResponse does not contain definition for 'Ax'

Can you try Response response = client.Execute<Response>(request); ? By saying IRestResponse<Response>, you are casting to a type of IRestResponse and you might not have Ax field defined in the IRestResponse interface. — M22an

Well I have Ax field in the Response Class. I thought that's where it was supposed to be at. — Struse

Yes that's where it needs to be. Just going through their documentation (restsharp.org), looks like you need to use RestResponse<Response> response = client.Execute<Response>(request); and not IRestResponse interface. Please check if this helps — M22an

I already tried this as well. Initially cast explicitly but in vain. the same error persists. — Struse

For what it's worth, and having spent some time searching around this, I would have used Newtonsoft.Json and solved it like this:

IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
string ResponseStr = response.Content.ToString();
dynamic Response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(ResponseStr);

you can then call off the elements as you need them:

var price = Response.AX.BX;
string Description = Response.AX.Desc.ToString();     etc

Hope this helps someone

Problem is with case sensitive. RestSharp serializer expects following json structure

{
  Ax:{Bx:1777} 
}

You have 3 ways to deal with it:

1) add DataContract and DataMember to your classes

[DataContract]
public class Response
{
    [DataMember(Name = "AX")]
    public AX Ax { get; set; }
}

[DataContract]
public class AX
{
    [DataMember(Name = "BX")]
    public long Bx { get; set; }
}

2) write your own serializer that ignores case sensitive and use it with restsharp

3) change your json structure
