❔ Json Deserialiser throws NullReferenceException when deserializing an array

cs here has a value of

"[{\"Key\":null,\"MouseButton\":null,\"ControllerButton\":null},{\"Key\":null,\"MouseButton\":null,\"ControllerButton\":null}]"

"[{\"Key\":null,\"MouseButton\":null,\"ControllerButton\":null},{\"Key\":null,\"MouseButton\":null,\"ControllerButton\":null}]"

Im literally serializing something and deserializing it and it throws an error, Im so confused this works fine with an int instead of a Control, or with the c array set to be empty

Angius•15mo ago

I mean, yes it works with an int Because it's a simple type I don't suppose those... Winforms controls or whatever they are will be easily serializeable

FypurOP•15mo ago

They're a custom class It's basically just 3 enums It serializes just fine, it just doesn't work deserializing

Angius•15mo ago

If they're enums, they should serialize fine

FypurOP•15mo ago

that's what Im saying but it ain't working

Angius•15mo ago

How are you serializing it?

FypurOP•15mo ago

Control[] c = new Control[] { new Control(), new Control() };
string cs = JsonSerializer.Serialize(c);
c = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Control[]>(cs);

Control[] c = new Control[] { new Control(), new Control() };
string cs = JsonSerializer.Serialize(c);
c = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<Control[]>(cs);

that's the whole code no more no less

Angius•15mo ago

Well You're serializing them empty Ah, wait

FypurOP•15mo ago

well it should work still

Angius•15mo ago

Yeah

TheRanger•15mo ago

are Keys, MouseButton and Buttons enum?

FypurOP•15mo ago

yes the serializing part goes fine, and then it just doesn't wanna work on deserializing shit you can compile on discord now?

It works

FypurOP•15mo ago

huhh

Angius•15mo ago

Maybe because it's a struct...?

TheRanger•15mo ago

works here

Angius•15mo ago

Yeah nah, works with a struct

FypurOP•15mo ago

It's all enums

FypurOP•15mo ago

This is the constructor

TheRanger•15mo ago

Monogame?

FypurOP•15mo ago

yup The Control class is a custom one I made

TheRanger•15mo ago

i have monogame, i can test

FypurOP•15mo ago

well yeah but it doesn't have anything to do with it it should be basic c#

TheRanger•15mo ago

in case whats Fiourp.MouseButton ? probably an enum u made

FypurOP•15mo ago

Custom enum

FypurOP•15mo ago

FypurOP•15mo ago

TheRanger•15mo ago
