How to fix the problem of undeletable characters in json strings in Visual Studio

So – you’re cruising around in web services, pulling data from various sources and your want to deserialize a string into an object, however, you can’t seem to remove extra quotations and escape characters. In fact everything you see looks like this

“{\”DataThingObject\”:{\”DataThingOneID\”:89,\”Status\”:\”Active\”,\”UserId\”:89,

and the \ and ” don’t go away, no matter how much text manipulation you do.

There actually isn’t a problem, you’re just looking at the string in the debugger, which adds the escape charachters for some reason – if you save it to a text or json file you will see that your json files are perfectly formatted.
