.Net how to get JSON string?

Question

I'm using ListFolderAsync in Asp.net by using the examples in the SDK. Works fine.

But I want to get the JSON string containing the file list in order to convert it directly to an XML file. I'm not familiar with the sdk or .net on how to get that from your response. Can you give a quick sample?

Thanks.

I don't believe the .NET SDK exposes the raw JSON. The SDKs are built to offer native interfaces, where you don't need to deal directly with JSON, etc. I'll send this along as a feature request though.

If you want the actual JSON, you can make the HTTPS request manually. For example, for ListFolderAsync, that would be a call to /2/files/list_folder:
