RestSharp serialization to JSON, object is not using SerializeAs attribute as expected

by

This is for @MaxiWheat and anyone else interested in how to use JSON.NET as the JSON serializer in a RestSharp request. Basically, I used the approach described in this blog post by Patrick Riley:

// create the request
var request = new RestRequest(yourUrlHere, Method.POST) { RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json };

// attach the JSON.NET serializer for RestSharp
restRequest.JsonSerializer = new RestSharpJsonNetSerializer();

and the RestSharpJsonNetSerializer is an implementation (less than 100 lines of code) from the JSON.NET guys (John Sheehan) that can be found on their Github pages

With this setup, my problems went away and I was able to have a proper DTO with nice CamelCase properties, while the serialized JSON uses them in all “lowercase”.
