JSON deserialization in C# sub array -

i'm trying desearialize following using newtonsoft.json

{     "max_id_str":"1234567",     "results":[{         "created_at":"tue, 21 may 2013 03:06:23 +0000",         "from_user":"name here",         "from_user_id":33333,         "text":"the text goes here"     }],     "results_per_page":1,     "since_id":0,     "since_id_str":"0" } 

i can retrieve max_id_str using desearialization cannot of data in "results"

here's code have

public class tweet     {         public string max_id_str { get; set; }         public string text{ get; set; }         public string results_per_page{ get; set; }         public string since_id { get; set; }         public string since_id_str { get; set; }     } 

i create object of class , attempt desearlize object

tweet t = new tweet(); t = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<tweet>(e.result); 

everything "text" populates? text's value null when output value. ideas how accomplish i'm trying?

i'm not sure you're expecting deserializing json string type, text not property of object there's no reason expect that. text property of objects within results list. need map objects , access text through result objects.

public class tweet {     public string max_id_str { get; set; }     //public string text{ get; set; }     public list<result> results { get; set; }     public string results_per_page{ get; set; }     public string since_id { get; set; }     public string since_id_str { get; set; } }  public class result {     public string created_at { get; set; }     public string from_user { get; set; }     public int from_user_id { get; set; }     public string text { get; set; } }

if trying use values within results determine value of text property, write converter extract text value. add jsonproperty , jsonconverter attribute text property , implement converter.

public class tweet {     public string max_id_str { get; set; }     [jsonproperty("results")]     [jsonconverter(typeof(textpropertyresultextractorconverter))]     public string text { get; set; }     public string results_per_page{ get; set; }     public string since_id { get; set; }     public string since_id_str { get; set; } }  public class textpropertyresultextractorconverter : jsonconverter {     public override bool canconvert(type type)     {         throw new notimplementedexception();     }      public override object readjson(jsonreader reader, type objecttype, object existingvalue, jsonserializer serializer)     {         var results = (jarray)serializer.deserialize(reader);         var result = results.first();         return result.value<string>("text");     }      public override void writejson(jsonwriter writer, object value, jsonserializer serializer)     {         throw new notimplementedexception();     } }
