How can I use a reserved keyword as an identifier in my JSON model class?

Question

I have never used Web API before, but I need a web service that will accept/return JSON objects and using this seemed like a reasonable thing. It looked pretty simple (if not a bit of overkill for my purposes), but a data structure I need to deal with looks something like:

{
    "values":["foo", "bar"],
    "default":"bar"
}

And so I went to make a Model object:

class DropDownValues {
    public string[] values { get; set; }
    public string default { get; set; }
}

Problem is that default seems to be a protected keyword. There must be some way to get around that, right?

You can use keywords in C# as identifiers by prepending @ in front of them.
