How to deserialize this json file in vb.net with json.net? -

i using json.net library , have json file want deserialize:

{ "jsonversion": 3, "levelmasteryscore3": 70000, "boosts": { "preboostsupergems": {   "enabled": 1,   "jsonversion": 1 }, "preboostthreemoves": {   "enabled": 1,   "jsonversion": 1 }, "preboostcolorsplash": {   "enabled": 1,   "jsonversion": 1,   "excludedcolors": [     "g"   ] }, "jsonversion": 1 }, "name": "0017", "movelimitobjective": { "movelimit": 19, "jsonversion": 1 }, "gemspawnchance": { "r": 20, "b": 20, "g": 0, "p": 20, "y": 20 }, "levelmasteryscore1": 20000, "board": { "tiles": [   [     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x"   ],   [     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x"   ],   [     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x",     "x"   ],   [     "a",     "a",     "a",     "a",     "a",     "a",     "a"   ],   [     "a",     "e",     "a",     "e",     "a",     "e",     "a"   ],   [     "a",     "j1",     "a",     "j1",     "a",     "j1",     "a"   ],   [     "a",     "a",     "a",     "a",     "a",     "a",     "a"   ],   [     "j1",     "j1",     "j1",     "e",     "j1",     "j1",     "j1"   ],   [     "j1",     "j1",     "j1",     "j1",     "j1",     "j1",     "j1"   ] ], "visiblesize": {   "width": 7,   "jsonversion": 1,   "height": 9 }, "pieces": [   [     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@"   ],   [     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@"   ],   [     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@",     "@"   ],   [     "d",     "d",     "d",     "d",     "d",     "d",     "d"   ],   [     "d",     " ",     "d",     " ",     "d",     " ",     "d"   ],   [     "d",     " ",     "d",     " ",     "d",     " ",     "d"   ],   [     "d",     "d",     "d",     "d",     "d",     "d",     "d"   ],   [     " ",     " ",     " ",     " ",     " ",     " ",     " "   ],   [     " ",     " ",     " ",     " ",     " ",     " ",     " "   ] ], "jsonversion": 2 }, "levelmasteryscore2": 50000, "jellyobjective": { "jellytoremove": 16, "jsonversion": 1  } } 

it looks complex me , want retrieve following elements:

• movelimitobjective": { "movelimit": 19, "jsonversion": 1

• "gemspawnchance": { "r": 20, "b": 20, "g": 0, "p": 20, "y": 20 }

• the 'board' block 'tiles' , 'pieces' blocks

• "jellyobjective": { "jellytoremove": 16, "jsonversion": 1 }

i've seen plenty of examples on web, can't figure out. don't know begin.

thank in advance kind of help

use json2csharp convert json data csharp classes , convert resulting code vb.net using another converter.

once have classes in vb.net model data you're trying json, can use json.net's deserialize object method , grab properties want. example:

assuming you've set .net classes model json objects. i'll call top-level object game.

dim json string dim game game = jsonconvert.deserializeobject(of game)(json) messagebox.show(game.gemspawnchance) 

something close should work.

this example provides direction, doing more research helpful. maybe start newtonsoft.json page.
