How to deserialize json Using Newtonsoft?

Monalisha

I am new to Xamarin and don't have muh knowlwdge on json parsing. Please anyone suggest me how to deserialize the below json, so that I can get all bill object. I wrote C# code like this, but getting error

public class Bills
{
public string status { get; set; }
public IList bill { get; set; }

    public async static Task<List<Bill>> GetBills()
    {
        List<Bills> bills = new List<Bills>();

        Uri uri = new Uri(Constants.Bills_URL);

        using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient())
        {
            var response = await client.GetAsync(uri);
            var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

            bills = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Bills>(content);
        }
        return bills;
    }
}

This is the json, that i want to deserialize

"status": "success",
"bill": [
{
"bill_id": "1",
"transaction_date": "2018-04-01 06:00:00",

So there are a few issues with your code, you wouldn't normally have code in your dto object to fetch itself like that, but that isn't the issue you are facing.

List<Bills> bills = new List<Bills>();

should probably be:
Bills bills;

As Bills already contains the list of Bill.
