hello

You can use JavaScriptSerializer to convert json string to C# object. You will have to import using System.Web.Script.Serialization; to use Javascript Serializer.

The code snippet return a c# dictionary from the json string and now you can get its values by using its key name. We are getting firstname key in the code snippet example.
