Why is DataContractJsonSerializer not serializing my Id property?
I am using LINQ-to-SQL for CRUD functions and DataContractJsonSerializer
for serializing an object to JSON. I am also using ASP.NET MVC data binding to post values ββfor an MVC action that does the insert. The problem is that it will serialize all properties except the Id property. I have a model set up like this:
[Serializable]
[DataContract(Name = "campaign")]
[Table(Name = "hl.campaigns")]
public class Campaign
{
[DataMember(Name = "id")]
[Column(Name = "id", AutoSync = AutoSync.OnInsert, IsDbGenerated = true, IsPrimaryKey = true)]
public Int32 Id { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name = "createdBy")]
[Column(Name = "created_by")]
public Int32 CreatedBy { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name = "createdOnUtc")]
[Column(Name = "created_on_utc")]
public DateTime CreatedOnUtc { get; set; }
[DataMember(Name = "name")]
[Column(Name = "name", DbType = "NVarChar(256)")]
public String Name { get; set; }
/* more properties here */
}
Here's my custom one JsonDataContractActionResult
:
public class JsonDataContractActionResult : ActionResult
{
public JsonDataContractActionResult(Object data)
{
this.Data = data;
}
public Object Data { get; private set; }
public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
{
var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(this.Data.GetType());
String output = String.Empty;
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
serializer.WriteObject(ms, this.Data);
output = Encoding.Default.GetString(ms.ToArray());
}
context.HttpContext.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
context.HttpContext.Response.Write(output);
}
}
Here's the action (JsonContract () returns a JsonDataContractActionResult
):
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Modify([Bind(Prefix = "campaign")] Campaign campaign)
{
if (campaign.Id == 0)
{
try
{
CoreDB.Campaigns.InsertOnSubmit(campaign);
CoreDB.SubmitChanges();
return JsonContract(campaign);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
// TODO: error handling
}
}
return null; // TODO: modification
}
The only thing I can think of is that some data binding is preventing the Id property from being serialized since it was populated after it was deserialized from the form data. Any suggestions?

What does the normal Json () method return for this object?
As per this post ... there might be a problem with auto backup fields in C #:
