Deserialize in a list from JSON to VB.NET -

i work httprequest , receive response of group of array in json. want parse in vb.net in list access @ that:

list.index(0).messages.id list.index(0).messages.previous list.index(0).messages.last_update list.index(0).messages.html 

thank help, hope understand problem

if getting json array, why not deserialize array only? , can use .tolist() method convert array list.

your classes should like:

public class message {     public int id { get; set; }     public int previous { get; set; }     public int last_update { get; set; }     public string html { get; set; } }  public class rootobject {     public string robots { get; set; }     public list<message> messages { get; set; }     public list<int> messageids { get; set; }     public string onlineusers { get; set; }     public string reverse { get; set; }     public int lastrefresh { get; set; }     public string motd { get; set; }     public int numinchat { get; set; }     public bool twelvehour { get; set; }     public string _visitor_conversationsunread { get; set; }     public string _visitor_alertsunread { get; set; } } 

and should able deserialize full json rootobject class directly. deserialize, suggest newtonsoft.json dll(available @ nuget)

rootobject rootobject = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<rootobject>(jsonstring);

then able access properties asked.
