Need Help on Looping Through Deserialized Custom Class

Question

I am having a hard time figuring out how to expose (& loop through) the properties of my Categories class which was serialized (using JSON) in a WCF service and deserialized on the server as illustrated below.

JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Category cat  = serializer.Deserialize<Category>(param1);

 // Missing a cast here?    

foreach (var c in cat)
{
    ele.InnerHtml += String.Format("<option value={0}>{1} &gt;</option>", 
        c.field.id, c.field.path);
}

Where (I gather) I am going wrong is that I have to cast my Category object as either ICollection or IEnumerable? I think this is the step that I need advice on (if, indeed, I am barking up the right tree?).

Answer 1

Looks like you are trying to loop through Category which is a single item, not a list.
