i need way retrieve igloo_id, name , cost.

i've tried following, it's not want

list<igloo> iglooslist = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<list<igloo>>(itemjson); 

this structure of class

namespace canvas {     public class igloo     {         public int cost;         public int igloo_id;         public string name;          public int cost         {                         {                 return cost;             }         }          public int id         {                         {                 return igloo_id;             }         }          public string name         {                         {                 return name;             }         }     } } 

i'm not entirely sure understand want. code posted generated exception when tried running it,

additional information: cannot deserialize current json object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) type 'system.collections.generic.list1[consoleapplication2.program+igloo]' because type requires json array (e.g. [1,2,3]) deserialize correctly.

it did deserialize correctly if used:

var iglooslist = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<dictionary<string, igloo>>( json ); 

if want loop through use:

foreach( var igloo in iglooslist.values )
