public static string Serialize(this object dataToSerialize)
{
var jsonSerializer = new JsonSerializer();
var stringWriter = new StringWriter();
var writer = new JsonTextWriter(stringWriter) { Formatting = Formatting.Indented };
jsonSerializer.Converters.Add(new UtcDateConverter());
jsonSerializer.Serialize(writer, dataToSerialize);
return stringWriter.ToString();
}

if a photoFile which a property of object is 172 kb, then after serialization it becomes very large, which takes too much time to upload to server. Is there any way, I can optimize serialization in terms of data size.

Thanks,

I have a differrent idea what if we could directly talk with ADO.NET Data Service with REST? Anybody tried that? What about security implementation? Please suggest…

i have the following error while using JSON even after i have added in to project buildpath libraries in FLEX Builder 2 ,

1120: Access of undefined property JSON.

{”id”:12345,”firstName”:”Charlie”,”lastName”:”Nguyen”,”address”:”2802 N. Ave.”}

when I am trying to put the employee info in a loop it renders this:

{”id”:12346,”firstName”:”Jean”,”lastName”:”Gray”,”address”:”NYC, NC”}
{”id”:12347,”firstName”:”Scott”,”lastName”:”Summers”,”address”:”NYC, NC”}

and when the datagrid populars the data….it only shows scott summers and not 2 separate rows.

does the webservices need to populate it like this? If so, how can I do that?

{”id”:12347,”firstName”:”Scott”,”lastName”:”Summers”,”address”:”NYC, NC”}

{”id”:12346,”firstName”:”Jean”,”lastName”:”Gray”,”address”:”NYC, NC”}

Thanks a lot!!
