I really hope I understood the problem correctly. I am assuming you require the values of each key within the query string key called Data? To do so I used the code below:
Dim values() As String = Server.UrlDecode(Request.QueryString("data")).Replace("{", "").Replace("}", "").Split(New Char() {","}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
For Each value As String In values
Dim keyValue() As String = value.Split(New Char() {":"}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
Response.Write(keyValue(0).Replace("""", "") & " : " & keyValue(1).Replace("""", "") & "<br/>")
Next
In a nutshell, I decode the QueryString("data"), replace the braces and split the string into an array by using the comma as the first split character. We then end up with an array containing values in the following format "id":"649403".
Thereafter I iterate through the values and split one final time for each value based on the semi-colon (:) character.
With this method you can build and manipulate the data dynamically.
Code Edit
I replaced all references of ":" with "=" to ensure that the time stamp will be correctly retrieved and then split the key values based on =. You can use a select case to assign variables to values if necessary. (Obviously make sure your variable is not declared within the select as it will not be in the right scope for later use!)
If Request.QueryString("data") IsNot Nothing Then
Dim values() As String = Request.QueryString("data").Replace("{", "").Replace("}", "").Replace(""":""", """=""").Split(New Char() {","}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
For Each value As String In values
Dim keyValue() As String = value.Split(New Char() {"="}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
Response.Write(keyValue(0).Replace("""", "") & " : " & keyValue(1).Replace("""", "") & "<br/>")
Select Case keyValue(0).ToLower()
Case "id"
Dim id As String = keyValue(1)
End Select
Next
End If
Reflection Edit
Create an instance of your object then retrieve all its properties (Dim properties() As PropertyInfo = myObj.GetType().GetProperties()). Iterate through the properties and set the value where the name is equal to the key. Don't forget to import the System.Reflection library.
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim data As String = "%7B%22id%22:%2269403%22,%22longitude%22:%22-143.406417%22,%22latitude%22:%2232.785834%22,%22timestamp%22:%2223-10%2010:12%22%7D"
If data IsNot Nothing Then
Dim myObj As New MyObject
Dim properties() As PropertyInfo = myObj.GetType().GetProperties()
Dim values() As String = Server.UrlDecode(data).Replace("{", "").Replace("}", "").Replace(""":""", """=""").Split(New Char() {","}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
For Each value As String In values
Dim keyValue() As String = value.Split(New Char() {"="}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
For Each prop As PropertyInfo In properties
If prop.Name.ToLower = keyValue(0).ToLower.Replace("""", "") Then
prop.SetValue(myObj, keyValue(1), Nothing)
End If
Next
Next
myObj.Save()
End If
End Sub
