Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

You can remove backslashes using the Replace function:

url = url.Replace("\\", "")

But perhaps you ought to spend some time working out how those backslashes got there in the first place. It sounds like you aren't parsing the JSON correctly. What parser are you using?

+1 - And to venture a guess at the answer to your question; I reckon there's no real JSON parser being used here at all - I can't imagine anything that calls itself a JSON 'parser' failing to read ecape sequences in strings.

I am using JsonArray class to parse the json like this: JsonValue jasonValue = JsonArray.Parse(json); JsonValue results = jasonValue["results"]; List<Artist> artists = new List<Artist>(); foreach (JsonObject jsonArtist in results) { Artist artist = new Artist(); artists.CreatedByProfileImageUrl = jsonArtist["profile_image_url"].ToString(); artists.Add(artists); }

Try the DataContractJSONSerializer in System.Runtime.Serialization - that does a much beter job of serializing JSON - arrays can be tricky, but I can usually get it to behave with ayny format I throw at it.

yeah, I also wanted to use DataContractJSONSerializer, but I'd to create classes for this separalty. and i did not want to create new classes, I wanted to use existing classes, therefore using the foreach loop to fill each property of my class.

@Mark, thanks, your solution works, but i am sure there is something wrong with the parsor, I'd need to use thrid party parser if i find any good. thanks anyways. :)
