driscollwebdev / SavePersonJsonExample.cs

Created January 15, 2013 14:41

An example of parsing an object's data from its representation and saving it somewhere all in one method (not the best approach).

	public void SaveFromJson(string jsonData, DbContext saveContext)
	{
	try
	{
	JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
	Person person = serializer.Deserialize<Person>(jsonData);
	//This is just an example, but in prod code you'd need
	//to make sure the entity doesn't already exist.
	saveContext.Entry<Person>(person).State = System.Data.EntityState.Added;
	saveContext.SaveChanges();
