Answer 1

Follow these steps:

1. Convert your JSON to C# using json2csharp.com;
2. Create a class file and put the above generated code in there;
3. Add the Newtonsoft.Json library to your project using the Nuget Package Manager;

4. Convert the JSON received from your service using this code:

    RootObject r = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json); 

(Feel free to rename RootObject to something more meaningful to you. The other classes should remain unchanged.)

Answer 2

You can safely use built-in JavaScriptSerializer without referencing additional third party libraries:

var ser = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer(); ser.DeserializeObject(json);
