Title Body

I'm trying to serialize/deserialize a Dictionary<string, object> which seems to work fine if the object is a simple type but doesn't work when the object is more complex. I have this class: public class UrlStatus { public int Status { get; set; } public string Url { get; set; } } In my dictionary I add a List<UrlStatus> with a key of "Redirect Chain" and a few simple strings with keys "Status", "Url", "Parent Url". The string I'm getting back from JSON.Net looks like this: {"$type":"System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.String, mscorlib],[System.Object, mscorlib]], mscorlib","Status":"OK","Url":"http://www.ehow.com/m/how_5615409_create-pdfs-using-bean.html","Parent Url":"http://www.ehow.com/mobilearticle35.xml","Redirect Chain":[{"$type":"Demand.TestFramework.Core.Entities.UrlStatus, Demand.TestFramework.Core","Status":301,"Url":"http://www.ehow.com/how_5615409_create-pdfs-using-bean.html"}]} The code I'm using to serialize looks like: JsonConvert.SerializeObject(collection, Formatting.None, new JsonSerializerSettings { TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Objects, TypeNameAssemblyFormat = System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple }); to deserialize I'm doing: JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(collection, new JsonSerializerSettings { TypeNameHandling = TypeNameHandling.Objects, TypeNameAssemblyFormat = System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.FormatterAssemblyStyle.Simple, }); The Dictionary comes back fine, all the strings come back fine, but the List doesn't get properly deserialized. It just comes back as {[ { "$type": "XYZ.TestFramework.Core.Entities.UrlStatus, XYZ.TestFramework.Core", "Status": 301, "Url": "/how_5615409_create-pdfs-using-bean.html" } ]} Of course I can deserail
