Json.NET, Unable to de-serialize nullable type
The error is telling you that it cant find a a constructor that it can use for the deserialization.
Try adding a default constructor to the class:
public class MyObject
{
public int? integerValue { get; set; }
public DateTime? dateTimeValue { get; set; }
public MyObject(){}
}

--EDIT--
So I've just created a simple console app using your MyObject
, with and without a default constructor and I'm getting no errors. Here is my example:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var mo = new MyObject { integerValue = null, dateTimeValue = null };
var ser = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(mo);
var deser = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(ser, typeof(MyObject));
}
}
public class MyObject
{
public int? integerValue { get; set; }
public DateTime? dateTimeValue { get; set; }
}
I get no exceptions...
Can you show an example of the JSON that you are trying to deserialize?
The solution for me was to create Converter according to this answer
public class BoolConverter : JsonConverter
{
public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
writer.WriteValue(((bool)value) ? 1 : 0);
}
public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
{
if (reader.Value == null || reader.Value.ToString() == "False")
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
{
return objectType == typeof(bool);
}
}
And than specify in model
[JsonConverter(typeof(BoolConverter))]
public Boolean bold;
