In my Windows 8.1 app I want to store the result of my custom generated List optimally to my local storage so that I can retrieve it later on even after the app closes.
The Newtonsoft JSON serializer helps me in serializing the List to string format that I can store in any text file. But deserializing it wont fetch the required List.
Class
public class BookDetailsItem
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public ImageSource CoverImage { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public Visibility ProgressVisi { get; set; }
public List<StoryDetailsItem> stories { get; set; }
}
public class StoryDetailsItem
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public ImageSource CoverImage { get; set; }
public string Time { get; set; }
public string Word { get; set; }
public Visibility ProgressVisi { get; set; }
}
Now I am adding my required items to a list of this class
List<BookDetailsItem> tempbook = new List<BookDetailsItem>();
tempbook.Add(......);
Now Serializing it I can store it in any txt file
string tempstr = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tempbook);
But deserializing it how can I get back the same List all I am getting is an object which isnt in correct format
var obj1 = (JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(tempstr));
Is there any other way in which I can store these data in Local storage more easily and optimally(without creating a SQlite database).
Use
var obj1 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<BookDetailsItem>>(tempstr)
To give the deserializer the type information.
