A way to combine 2 unrelated JSON objects
0
Suppose I have 2 objects:
public class CInfo
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Id")]
public string cID { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Name")]
public string cName { get; set; }
}
public class Event
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Time")]
public DateTime dateTime { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Note")]
public string comment { get; set; }
}
Couple of functions return the following:
CInfo cInfo = getCInfo();
List<Event> = getEvents();
Both of these meant to be combined together, into a final (hypothetical) object that needs to look this:
public class CInfoWithEvents
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Id")]
public string cID { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Name")]
public string cName { get; set; }
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Events")]
public List<Event> { get; set; }
}
At which point the intention is to do a JsonConvert.SerialzeObject(CInfoWithEvents), and get a json string representing this final object.
Question: what is the best way to combine them? There has to be a more elegant way than just creating whole new object and copying each property, or worse: serialize cInfo and List<Event> separately and do some sort of string manipulation.
Thank you for your time

Include the entireCInfoas a single property?class CInfoWithEvents { public CInfo CInfo {get;set;}; public List<Event> {get;set;}}Or do something like stackoverflow.com/q/42836936/11683?

@GSerg I appreciate the response, but Im not sure were talking about the same thing: final object is basically aCInfowithList<Event>property added. I considered creating a derived classclass CInfoWithEvents:cInfo { [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Events")] public List<Event> { get; set; }}but i'd be back to just copying properties one by one if I wanted to populate this new object.

you can implement this in various ways besides copying each property of both classes:
1) Add both class as public property in the third class.
public class CInfoWithEvents
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "CInfo")]
public CInfo {get; set;}
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Events")]
public List<Event> { get; set; }
}
2) Inherit from CInfo class and have a List as public property.
public class CInfoWithEvents : CInfo
{
[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "Events")]
public List<Event> { get; set; }
}
3) Create on the fly:
var javaScriptSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var resultJson = javaScriptSerializer.Serialize(new { CInfo = getCInfo(), Events = getEvents()});
4) Using JObject
JObject jCInfo = JObject.FromObject(getCInfo());
jCInfo.Add("Events", JArray.FromObject(getEvents()));
string json = jCInfo.ToString();

Thank you. I appreciate your response. 1 and 3 produce the same result and both result in a structure that is different from what I am looking for: they are not equivalent toCInfoWithEventsobject. #2 would result in a correct structure, but in order to populate this derived object I would need to assign each property individually, which i want to avoid for the purposes of future maintenance.

this is it! thank you kindly!! one small correction to this specific example is that it shoudl be `jCInfo.Add("Events", JArray.FromObject(getEvents()));', otherwise #4 is the solution
