Hi All,
I am using MVC4 and Entity Framework in my application .
I am serializing my model using JsonSerialize
the code looks like this.
public static string Serialize(object value) { string formattedItem = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value, JsonSerializationSettings.Settings); formattedItem = formattedItem.Replace(""$type": "", ""type": ""); return formattedItem; }
So I tried using
ReferenceLoopHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
& also tried this
ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Serialize,
PreserveReferencesHandling = PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects
When I Use ReferenceLoopHandling, PreserveReferencesHandling .. there is no circular reference error , but the Json returned is not correct .
How should I solve this problem , Could anyone please suggest .
Thanks
check this link

Hi gowrifor,
For the one-to-many or many-to-many relations, we can’t serialize it directly.
The easy way is that you could use ViewModel or anonymous (select new{}) type, then serialize it.
You also could refer to this article to try to do by yourself:

There are some links that may benefit you:
