Type 'System.String' is not supported for deserialization of an array?????

Aug 23, 2011 08:55 PM|LINK

Hi I have a JSON data, When I am trying to access a string value in my JSON object I am getting the below error:

Type 'System.String' is not supported for deserialization of an array

Below is my code:

[Serializable]
    public class GetUser
    {
        public bool Status { get; set; }
        public string Messages { get; set; }//Getting error If I add this property of type string.
        public GetUserdata[] Data { get; set; }
    }
 
    [Serializable]
    public class GetUserdata
    {
        public string UserName { get; set; }
        public string FullName { get; set; }
        public string Email { get; set; }
        public string RoleName { get; set; }
        public string DivList { get; set; }
        public string RegList { get; set; }
        public string FacList { get; set; }
    }

Below is my JSON data:

{"Status":true,"ErrorCode":0,"Messages":["User has been added"],
"Data":
[
{"UserName":"TestUser",
"Email":"testit@testit.com",
"CompanyId":"999",
"FullName":"Test User",
"RoleName":"Division",
"DivList":"div1,div2,div3",
"RegList":"",
"FacList":""}]}

My Get method:

string responseFromServer = WebRequests.Request.UserRequest(url, "GET");
JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
GetUser updateuser = serializer.Deserialize<GetUser>(JSONdata);
model.status = updateuser.Status;
model.UserName = updateuser.Data[0].UserName;
model.FullName = updateuser.Data[0].FullName;

I am able to get the status and other fields like Username, Fullname. 
But When I am trying to add Message of type string in my model. Its giving that error.

How can I get the message Field in my JSON data. What changes do i need to make??

Thanks,
