    uDynamic checkbox values

    Hi

    I'm trying to retrieve the selected values in a uDynamic checkbox displaying countries. I'm currently using the following code to do this

    @node.GetPropertyValue("countries")

    This returns a comma delimited list of the keys associated with my selections

    [ "ger", "usa" ]

    rather than the text values

    Germany, USA

    How do I go about retrieving the selected text values?

    Thanks

    Jim

    Hi Jim,

    You can use jsonSerializer.

    var dict = new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Dictionary<string,object>>(node.GetPropertyValue("countries"));

//Array is also possible
string[] result = dict.Select(kv => kv.Value.ToString()).ToArray();

    Hi Alex

    Thanks for your reply.

    I tried adding your code to a test page and got the following compiler error

    The type or namespace name 'JavaScriptSerializer' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

    I fixed this by fully qualifying the reference as follows

    var dict = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<Dictionary<string,object>>(node.GetPropertyValue("countries"));

    This then gave the compiler error

    The best overloaded method match for 'System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.Deserialize<System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<string,object>>(string)' has some invalid arguments

    Do you have any idea how I might resolve this?

    Thanks

    Jim
