        public List<snapshot> Snapshots { get; set; }

I am am getting only columns in datagrid view and empty rows.(null)

how do i parse multilayer Json TO CSV

What I have tried:

C#
public string ReadJsonFile(String Filepath)
{
    string json = string.Empty;
    // char seperator = ',';

    using (StreamReader read = new StreamReader(textBox1.Text))
    {
        json = read.ReadToEnd();

	var data1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<parameter>(json);

        List<parameter> data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<list<parameter>>(json);

        DataTable dTable = ToDataTable(data)  ;//call function to convert list to datatable

        dataGridView1.DataSource = dTable;
    }
    return json;
}


With this I am getting 3 columns (Name,Parameter Address, Value)in datatable but they are empty ..no row data.

Uses code block for your code to make it readable... and augment the chance to get some help.

Also, what is the declaration of parameter class and where is the code to write to CSV file? We cannot tell you the problem in your code if there is no code!
