Hi,

Please help me to get the Json response

What I have tried:

C#

[ServiceContract]
    public interface IManageService
    {

        [OperationContract]
        [WebInvoke(UriTemplate = "Get", BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Wrapped, Method = "GET", RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json)]
        GetManageResponse Get(GetManageRequest GetManageRequest);
    }

C#

GetManageRequest class have passing parameters
GetManageResponse class have the Return List

GetManageResponse:

C#

using System;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;

namespace DomainModel
{
    [DataContract]
    public class GetManageResponse
    {
        [DataMember]
        public List<Manage> ManageList { get; set; }
    }
}

Web.config:

C#

Turn off automatic format selection.

XML

<system.serviceModel>
       <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
       <standardEndpoints>
           <webHttpEndpoint>
               <standardEndpoint name="" helpEnabled="true" automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="false" defaultOutgoingResponseFormat="Json"/>
           </webHttpEndpoint>
       </standardEndpoints>
</system.serviceModel>

Can you post your XML response here. Are you getting XML response instead of Json?

Solution 3

Finally i got Json Response. The problem is with date time. Now it was solved
Issue:

C#

DateTime.MinValue not be serialized in timezones ahead of UTC

Solution :

C#

[DataMember(IsRequired = false, EmitDefaultValue = false)]

Added this on any DateTime Member.
