How to parse this type of JSON using C# JsonConvert?

I’m trying to parse a JSON response which looks like this:

{
    "users" : [{id: 1, ...},{id: 2, ...}],
    "count": 200
}

into List of Users using C#. I’ve tried parsing it this way:

Dictionary<string, List<User>> parsedJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, List<User>>>(result);

but got an error indicating that (count:100) can not be parsed.
Now I am able to get the result using

Dictionary<string, dynamic> parsedJson = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, dynamic>>(result);

but I want to be sure that parsedJson["users"] is going to be a List of User. How can I achieve that?

    Your JSON response is an object with two properties, so you should try:

    public class JsonResponseDto
{
    public List<User> Users { get; set; }
    public int Count {get; set; }
}

var deserializedResult = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JsonResponseDto>(result);

    You don’t need any extra class

    List<User> users = JObject.Parse(result)["users"].ToObject<List<User>>();

    and if you need count

    int count = users.Count;
