JavaScriptserializer namespace issue

Question

Below is the code I’ve to implement the JavaScriptSerializer to parse a JSON string from a server:

responseFromServer = readStream.ReadLine();

JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();

var dict = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(responseFromServer);

var status = dict["notificationType"]; 

Debug.WriteLine(status);

I added using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

Below is the error I get in Visual C# 2010 Express:

“namespace name Script does not exist in the namespace System.Web. As a result the JavaScriptSerializer is not valid.”

Can anyone tell me how I can go about this?

Answer 1

 You should add JavaScriptSerializer which you can find in System.Web.Extensions Assembly to the project references. Refer this for further information.
