Parsing JSON Visual Studio C# vs VB

Question

I'm having problems parsing some JSon (from an HttpRequest. The received string is :

{{
"@odata.context": "https://xxx/$metadata#customers(id,name,nbuys,domestic)",
  "value": [
   {
  "@odata.etag": "W/\"186553045\"",
  "id": "bb1d4f0b",
  "name": "John Smith",
  "nbuys": 5,
  "domestic": true
},
{
  "@odata.etag": "W/\"186553045\"",
  "id": "bgjf4f0a",
  "name": "Jane Doe",
  "nbuys": 8,
  "domestic": false
  }
  ]
}}

I successfully deserialize the string in C# using NewtonSoft:

var J  = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject( jsonstring);

then I can iterate through each customer

For Each (item in J.value.Children())   
{
    console.WriteLine(item.name);
 }

This works fine, but I need to do the same in Visual Basic. I get the same deserialized object:

Dim J as JObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject( jsonstring)

but I can't get the following to work

Foreach item In J.value.Children()
     console.WriteLine(item.name);

next

This doesn't work. I've tried using various J objects without any luck. The only thing I've been able to get is

dim i as integer = J.Count

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for helping

Answer 1

The equivalent in VB would be

Dim J = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonstring)

For Each item In J("value").Children()
    Console.WriteLine(item.name)
next
