how to convert this and shown in textbox using xamarin in visual studio.

C#

return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<string>(result);

this is the complete code.

C#

string url = @"http://api.wunderground.com/api/02e5dd8c34e3e657/geolookup/conditions/forecast/q/Dhaka,Bangladesh.json";
            using (var client = new HttpClient())
            {
                var result =client.GetStringAsync(url);
                return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<string>(result);

Note: I don't use Xamarin/Mono, but the code shown here works in Visual Studio 2013, .NET FrameWork 4.5, as long as the project has a reference to NewtonSoft JSON, and I assume it will work, as is, in Xamarin: if it doesn't, then ask Xamarin for support.

Problem with your current code: I suspect that you are not using asynch properly; you can verify that by putting a break-point on the line starting with 'return JsonConvert, and examining the contents of 'result.

Second, it does not make any sense to try and de-serialize JSON into a string: JSON is an object-format and its de-serialize output is an instance of a Class ... in this case a Class containing instances of other Classes containing the data.

You need to supply the deserializer with a proper Class definition/template to "plug-in its data" to an instance of the Class it will create.

Fortunately, it's easy to get the C# class definition for the WeatherUnderground JSON API: go to the JSONToCSharp site [^], and paste in your WU url, press 'Generate, and copy the classes that it produces for you.

Here's exactly what I did to pull down the data using your Bangladesh URI:

0. created a new public Class in Visual Studio which I named WU_JSON
1. went to JSONToCSharp
2. pasted in your url
3. pressed 'Generate and copied the Class definitions created
4. pasted the class definitions into the body of my Class WU_JSON

5. used the following code

C#

// make sure you have these
using System.Linq;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Xml;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

private WU_JSON.RootObject Parse_WU_JSON(string targetURI)
{
    Uri uri = new Uri(targetURI);

    var webRequest = WebRequest.Create(uri);
    WebResponse response = webRequest.GetResponse();

    WU_JSON.RootObject wUData = null;

    try
    {
        using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            var responseData = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
            
            // if you want all the "raw data" as a string
            // just use: responseData.ToString()

            wUData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<wu_json.rootobject>(responseData);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        // error occurred ... ???
    }
    
    return wUData;
}

// sample usage:

string wuUri = @"http://api.wunderground.com/api/02e5dd8c34e3e657/geolookup/conditions/forecast/q/Dhaka,Bangladesh.json";

WU_JSON.RootObject WU_Result = Parse_WU_JSON(wuUri);

if (WU_Result != null)
{
    // do something with the data in WU_Result
}
else
{
    // there was a problem getting the data
}</wu_json.rootobject>

You'll note that in the code above, commented out, is a solution for how to get the complete response from WU in a string.

FootNote: here's the entire WeatherUnderground JSON structure that the JSONToCSharp site generated for me, but note, that the format of this may be subject to change, so it's a good thing to check the site first before using this:

C#

Hi Satheesh,

Please see below the code used for converting Student JSON format string to Student Class..in Xamarin.

Class Library

C#

using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

Code for De- Serialization

C#

public static T Deserialize<T>(string json) {
           var obj = Activator.CreateInstance<T>();
           using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(json))) {
               var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(obj.GetType());
               obj = (T) serializer.ReadObject(memoryStream);
               return obj;
           }
       }

The de-serialize function can be called by...

C#

StudentList = Deserialise<list>< Student >> (JsonString);
</list>
