Getting Values of a JSON Object using webmeothd in vb.net - json

Question

I got stuck while getting value of a JSON object in vb.net. My JSON request posts data like given below:
function submitEmail() {
var ClientsPersonalInfo = {
FullName: $("#FullName").val(),
PhoneNumber: $("#PhoneNumber").val(),
EmailAddress: $("#EmailAddress").val(),
DOB: $("#DOB").val(),
Occupation: $("#Occupation").val(),
NINumber: $("#NINumber").val(),
FullAddress: $("#FullAddress").val()
}
var ClientsData = {};
ClientsData.ClientsPersonalInfo = ClientsPersonalInfo;
var d = '{"ClientsData":' + JSON.stringify(ClientsData) + '}'
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "add-new-client.aspx/SubmitEmail", // WebMethod Call
data: d,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
alert(response)
},
failure: function (msg) {
alert(msg);
}
});
}
JSON Object Looks Like
{
"ClientsPersonalInfo": {
"FullName": "",
"PhoneNumber": "",
"EmailAddress": "",
"DOB": "",
"Occupation": "",
"NINumber": "",
"FullAddress": ""
}
}
The above request returns an object in vb.net
VB Code:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Shared Function SubmitEmail(ByVal ClientsPersonalInfo As Object) As String
'What to do next to get object "ClientsPersonalInfo"
'I want to access properties of the object like
'Dim name As String = ClientsPersonalInfo.FullName
Return "Successfully Converted."
End Function
No I want to get values of this object and needs to append in a table. Please guide me how to get values of the above object? I am new in vb.net. Please guide. Thanks!

Answer 1

First, you need to add the ClientsData and ClientsPersonalInfo classes to your web service:
Public Class ClientsPersonalInfo
Public Property FullName As String
Public Property PhoneNumber As String
Public Property EmailAddress As String
Public Property DOB As String
Public Property Occupation As String
Public Property NINumber As String
Public Property FullAddress As String
End Class
Public Class RootObject
Public Property ClientsPersonalInfo As ClientsPersonalInfo
End Class
Now, you can simply change the parameter type in your web service method and .Net engine will do the parsing for you:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Shared Function SubmitEmail(ByVal MyClientsPersonalInfo As ClientsPersonalInfo) As String
'You can access properties of the object like
Dim name As String = MyClientsPersonalInfo.FullName
Return "Successfully Converted."
End Function
