Newtonsoft can't deserialize GetBalancesAsync()

[chrispetersinc]

When calling:
var balances = await poloniexClient.Wallet.GetBalancesAsync();

The following error occurs:
{"Error reading string. Unexpected token: StartObject. Path '1CR', line 1, position 8."}

This happens when it tries to deserialize the json string. Rather than try to figure out why Newtonsoft Json couldn't deserialize a json string with the ibalance array within it, I modified my version to send to a second postdata that returns the json string and parsed it manually.

Hello, I have gone through the code specially for IBalance and Balance and how it was passed to deserialize. I understand you have to set Balance instead of IBalance because IBalance interface can be used as a blueprint, however, it cannot be used to deserialize as the JsonSerializer object doesn't know about the underlying class Balance where all JsonProperty is defined. So, better use IBalance as Blueprint for internal use instead on passing it to third party apis which do not know anything about Balance class.

Thus setting Balance will fix the issue in hand. Can you please check it.

thanks @nickmccombewn, in wallet.cs I had to update GetBalances to get it to work, I did the following:

       private IDictionary<string, IBalance> GetBalances() {
            var postData = new Dictionary<string, object>();
            var data = PostData<IDictionary<string, Balance>>("returnCompleteBalances", postData);
            var returnData = new Dictionary<string, IBalance>();
            foreach (string key in data.Keys) {              
                returnData.Add(key, data[key]);              
            }
            return returnData;
        }

with the call to it looking like the following:

     var xTask = pc.Wallet.GetBalancesAsync();
     IDictionary<string, IBalance> xBalances = xTask.Result;
