Rather new to Json.net und versuchte das folgende einfache Beispiel, ein Objekt zu serialisieren und dann zu deserialisieren, wobei der folgende Fehler angezeigt wurde:

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections;

namespace Timehunter.Base.ServicesTests
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for JsonError
    /// </summary>
    [TestClass]
    public class JsonError
    {
  [TestMethod]
        public void TestMethod1()
        {
            JsonSerializerSettings serializerSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings()
            {
                DateFormatHandling = DateFormatHandling.IsoDateFormat,
                DateParseHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.DateParseHandling.DateTimeOffset
            };

            Act.Activities acts = new Act.Activities();
            acts.Add(new Act.Activity() { Id = 1, Name = "test1" });
            acts.Add(new Act.Activity() { Id = 2, Name = "test2" });
            string json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(acts, serializerSettings);

            Timehunter.Base.Act.Activities target = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Timehunter.Base.Act.Activities>(json, serializerSettings);
            Assert.AreEqual("test1", target.List[0].Name, "Name of first activity");
        }
    }
}
namespace Timehunter.Base
{
    [DataContract]
    public class Activity
    {
        private int _id;
        private string _name;

        [DataMember]
        public int Id
        {
            get { return this._id; }
            set { this._id = value; }
        }
        [DataMember]
        public string Name
        {
            get { return this._name; }
            set { this._name = value; }
        }

        public Activity()
        {
            this._id = new int();
            this._name = string.Empty;
        }
    }
    [DataContract]
    public class Activities : IEnumerable<Activity>
    {
        private List<Activity> _list;
        [DataMember]
        public List<Activity> List
        {
            get { return this._list; }
            set { this._list = value; }
        }
        public Activities()
        {
            this._list = new List<Activity>();
        }

        public void Add(Activity item)
        { this._list.Add(item); }

        public bool Remove(Activity item)
        { return this._list.Remove(item); }

        public int Count()
        { return this._list.Count; }

        public IEnumerator<Activity> GetEnumerator()
        {
            return this._list.GetEnumerator();
        }

        IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
        {
            return GetEnumerator();
        }
    }
}

Und dann bekomme ich den folgenden Fehler:

Was mache ich falsch
