Hi, 

I have to create a android app. I am creating a web service  in .asmx, it will return in json format.

["message":"Login successfully",
         "username":"aravinth",
         "userid":1234,
         "organization":"M-ULink",
         "organizationId":124,
         "branch":"Salem-4 Roads",
         "branchId":432]

But  I need to return the format like as below

{
   "statusCode":200,
   "referenceAPI":"/hotel/login",
   "success":{
      "result":{
         "message":"Login successfully",
         "username":"myname",
         "userid":1234,
         "organization":"mycompany",
         "organizationId":124,
         "branch":"mybranch",
         "branchId":432
      }
   },
   "failure":{
      "message":""
   }
}

Hi,

And which type do you return currently? Copy/paste the json you want to http://json2csharp.com/. It will generate the suitable "RootObject" C# class for you.

Legacy asmx ASP.NET Web service is not suited for mobile device solutions. ASP.NET WebApi is since it is Json based.
