Question

I am currently using Json.Net to deserialize my JSON. I now have the following situation:

I am getting the following JSON response:

{"Success":false,"Errors":{"UserName":"User Name already registered","EmailAddress":"Email Address already registered"}}

I want to parse it into this type:

public class CustomJsonResult
{
    public bool Success { get; set; }
    public string[] Errors { get; set; }
}

Using Json.net, I tried doing this:

CustomJsonResult regResult = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<CustomJsonResult>(json);

But this is not working, I get the error Cannot deserialize JSON object into type ‘System.String[]’.

How can I fix this? (using Json.Net or any other library)

The problem is you’re trying to convert a dictionary into an array. Try replacing your string[] with Dictionary<string, string>.
