asp.net - How do i deserialize facebook data -

i have retrieved data of facebook groups.

    {   "groups": {     "data": [       {         "name": "name_1",         "unread": 25,         "bookmark_order": 13,         "id": "000000000001"       },   {         "name": "name_2",         "unread": 25,         "bookmark_order": 999999999,         "id": "00000000002"       }     ],     "paging": {       "next": "value_url"     }   },   "id": "123456" } 

my attempt:

public class groups      public property data() list(of facebookgroups)                     return m_data         end         set(value list(of facebookgroups))             m_data = value         end set     end property     private m_data list(of facebookgroups) end class  public class facebookgroups      public property id() string                     return m_id         end         set(value string)             m_id = value         end set     end property     private m_id string     public property name() string                     return m_name         end         set(value string)             m_name = value         end set     end property     private m_name string end class             dim g = fbclient1.get("me?fields=groups")              dim facebookgroups groups = new javascriptserializer().deserialize(of groups)(g)             each item object in facebookgroups.data                 console.writeline("id: {0}, name: {1}", item.id, item.name)             next 

i getting errors. says not able convert string. correct way ? there other workaround deserializing objects ?

the output json string wrote above returns structure different class. class should along lines of:

class group, has properties data , id, data class should have list of class containing properties: name, unread, bookmark_order, id.

edit:

public class data     public property name string     public property unread integer     public property bookmark_order integer     public property id integer end class  public class paging     public property next string end class  public class groups     public property data list(of data)     public property paging paging end class  public class responseobject     public property groups groups     public property id integer end class 

parsing responseobject should work, haven't tested myself.

edit 2: working example

the below code works me, reading data file c:\dev\tt.json, , groups parsed if step through.

sub main()     dim g = my.computer.filesystem.readalltext("c:\dev\tt.json")     dim facebookgroups responseobject = new javascriptserializer().deserialize(of      responseobject)(g) end sub  public class data     public property name string     public property unread integer     public property bookmark_order integer     public property id integer end class  public class paging     public property [next] string end class  public class groups     public property data list(of data)     public property paging paging end class  public class responseobject     public property groups groups     public property id integer end class
