First of all, your code example is on VB, not C#. But if you still want to parse json in C#, here is an example of how you can do it.

var parsedResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<NewsFeed>(jsonResponse);

To make it work you should use Newtonsoft.Json dll and specify NewsFeed class as follows:

    public class NewsFeed
    {
      public string Id;
      public string CreatedTime;
      public Tag From;
    }

    public class Tag
    {
      [JsonConstructor]
      public NewsFeed(string category, string name, string id)
      {
         Category = category;
         Name = name;
         Id = id
      }
      public string Category;
      public string Name;
      public string Id;
    }
