As I attempt to retrieve a value from a deeply nested Json object, I encounter a Parse error:
The Json data I'm working with:
{
"MessageId": "f6774927-37cf-4608-b985-14a7d86a38f9",
"Time": "2017-04-06T16:28:38.0719933+02:00",
"Data":
{
"ID":
{
"value": "0008044834"
},
"Carrier":
{
"value": 0
},
"Tool":
{
"value": 0
}
}
}
var myJsonString = File.ReadAllText(_currentDictory.FullName + @"\test\" + completeFilename);
var myJObject = JObject.Parse(myJsonString);
var serial = myJObject.SelectToken("Data.ID").Value<String>();
System.InvalidCastException
HResult=0x80004002
Message=Cannot cast Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject to Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JToken.
Source=Newtonsoft.Json
While I can successfully retrieve other values like "MessageID", attempting to retrieve "Data.XYZ" triggers the aforementioned error.
