Download source here and add as existing project. Then add as reference:

Edit:

You may also find that the monotouch linker is pretty aggressive. I would have code work fine in the simulator but crash in the device with method missing exceptions. Add a method somewhere in your app (you dont have to call it) like so:

    public void FixMonoTouchErrors()
    {
        var gc = new System.ComponentModel.GuidConverter();
        var sc = new System.ComponentModel.StringConverter();
        var dc = new System.ComponentModel.DateTimeConverter();
        var cc = new System.ComponentModel.CharConverter();
        var sh = new System.ComponentModel.Int16Converter();
        var sh1 = new System.ComponentModel.Int32Converter();
        var sh2 = new System.ComponentModel.Int64Converter();
        var dec = new System.ComponentModel.DecimalConverter();
        var nc0 = new System.ComponentModel.NullableConverter(typeof(Int16?));
        var nc1 = new System.ComponentModel.NullableConverter(typeof(Int32?));
        var nc2 = new System.ComponentModel.NullableConverter(typeof(Int64?));
        var nc3 = new System.ComponentModel.NullableConverter(typeof(decimal?));
        var nc4 = new System.ComponentModel.NullableConverter(typeof(DateTime?));
    }

Okay, thanks! Yesterday I used System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.DataContractJsonSerializer instead but thanks anyway, – Absent

I am wondering what API do you call that causes this crash? We can make the above happen automatically if you tell us what triggered it. – Kare

I believe for me it was the code posted on the (now dead) link wrapping NewtonSoft JSON.NET to fit the JavaScriptSerializer APIs. – Retake

I know this a really old post but by chance someone stumbles upon this like I have, System.Web.Script.Serialization is available in System.Web.Extensions.
