Serialize JSON in ASP.NET - asp.net

Question

I am new in ASP.NET world and I am trying to achieve following.
I need to serialize API of this format
{
"results": {
"profile": {
"firstname": "John,
"lastname": "Newman",
},
"credit": {
"amount": 30
}
}
}
The problem is that I don't know how to model my data. I need a results object, which contains 2 other objects (profile and credit). You can see some sample code below.
public class Results
{
public class Data {
public Profile profile { get; set; }
public Credit credit {get; set; }
}
public class Profile {
public String firstname {get; set; }
public String lastname { get; set; }
}
public class Credit {
public int amount { get; set; }
}
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Results results= new Results
{
Data = new Data{
Profile = new Profile {
firstname = "John",
lastname = "Newman"
},
Credit = new Credit {
balance = "30"
}
}
};
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(results);
Console.WriteLine(json);
}
The error I get is "Member Data cannot be initialized. It is not a field or property. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try this instead:
public class Profile
{
public String firstname { get; set; }
public String lastname { get; set; }
}
public class Credit
{
public int amount { get; set; }
}
public class Result
{
public Profile profile { get; set; }
public Credit credit { get; set; }
}
public class Wrapper
{
public Result results { get; set; }
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var wrapper = new Wrapper
{
results = new Result
{
profile = new Profile
{
firstname = "John",
lastname = "Newman"
},
credit = new Credit
{
amount = 30
}
}
};
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(wrapper);
Console.WriteLine(json);
}

Answer 2

Try this :
static void Main(string[]args) {
Base results = new Base() {
Results = new Results() {
profile = new Profile() {
firstname = "John",
lastname = "Newman"
},
credit = new Credit() {
amount = 30
}
}
};
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(results);
Console.WriteLine(json);
Console.ReadLine();
}
public class Base {
public Results Results {get;set;}
}
public class Results{
public Profile profile {get;set;}
public Credit credit {get;set;}
}
public class Profile{
public String firstname {get;set;}
public String lastname {get;set;}
}
public class Credit{
public int amount {get;set;}
}
Class Base wraps Results class to get the required JSON structure.
