First, download Newtonsoft's Json Library, then parse the json using JObject. This allows you to access the properties within pretty easily, like so:

using System; using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;  namespace testClient {     class Program     {         static void Main()         {             var myJsonString = "{report: {Id: \"aaakkj98898983\"}}";             var jo = JObject.Parse(myJsonString);             var id = jo["report"]["Id"].ToString();             Console.WriteLine(id);             Console.Read();         }     } }
