I have following classes:
public class Property { public string Description { get; set; } public object Value { get; set; } [BsonExtraElements] public IDictionary<string, Property> OtherData { get; set; } } public class Device { public string DeviceId { get; set; } public IDictionary<string, Property> Properties { get; set; } }
What i want to achieve in json and map to those classes, is:
{
"DeviceId":"asd",
"Properties":{
"PropertyA":{
"Description":"some info",
"PropertyAB":{
"Description":"some info",
"Value":"etc"
}
},
"PropertyB":{
"Description":"some info",
"Value":"etc"
}
}
}
So, as you can see, i want to map concrete Model "Property" in recursive way with ExtraElements usage. But above code will fail, as BsonExtraElements can be used only with IDictionary<string, object> interface. Also:
public class Property : IDictionary<string, Property> { public string Description { get; set; } public object Value { get; set; } }
doesn't work. And to be honest, this semantic would be the most desired. (no need to reach extra Property OtherData) But neither both of those semantics i cannot map properly. Is anyone tried something similar before? Any hints how to achieve this?
