Parsing a JSON array using Json.Net

Question

I'm working with Json.Net to parse an array. What I'm trying to do is to pull the name/value pairs out of the array and assign them to specific variables while parsing the JObject.

Here's what I've got in the array:

[   {     "General": "At this time we do not have any frequent support requests."   },   {     "Support": "For support inquires, please see our support page."   } ] 

And here's what I've got in the C#:

WebRequest objRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(dest); WebResponse objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse(); using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream())) {     string json = reader.ReadToEnd();     JArray a = JArray.Parse(json);      //Here's where I'm stumped  } 

I'm fairly new to JSON and Json.Net, so it might be a basic solution for someone else. I basically just need to assign the name/value pairs in a foreach loop so that I can output the data on the front-end. Has anyone done this before?

You can get at the data values like this:

string json = @" [      { ""General"" : ""At this time we do not have any frequent support requests."" },     { ""Support"" : ""For support inquires, please see our support page."" } ]";  JArray a = JArray.Parse(json);  foreach (JObject o in a.Children<JObject>()) {     foreach (JProperty p in o.Properties())     {         string name = p.Name;         string value = (string)p.Value;         Console.WriteLine(name + " -- " + value);     } }
