Json.Net deserialize anonymous type

Deserializing JSON into an object with Json.NET

Any ideas of how to deserialize the following response into anonymous type using Json.Net?

{"d":[{"day":"Wednesday","firstSet":{"start":"17:00","close":"23:00","hours":6,"isValid":true},"secondSet":{"start":"00:00","close":"00:00","hours":0,"isValid":false},"personMinimum":2,"personMaximum":25}]}

Attempts so far result in the following error

Could not cast or convert from System.String to <>f__AnonymousType35[System.String,<>f__AnonymousType24[System.String,System.String,System.Int32,System.Boolean],<>f__AnonymousType2`4[System.String,System.String,System.Int32,System.Boolean],System.Int32,System.Int32].

Code is supplied below

var json_complex = new
{
  d = new
  {
    day = "",
    firstSet = new
    {
      start = "",
      close = "",
      hours = 0,
      isValid = false
    },
    secondSet = new
    {
      start = "",
      close = "",
      hours = 0,
      isValid = false
    },
    personMinimum = 2,
    personMaximum = 25
  }
};
var json = JsonConvert.DeserializeAnonymousType(jsonResponse, json_complex);

Any ideas?

First of all I must say why are you including third party into your application ?

Asp.net provides JavaScriptSerializer for serialization !

Look at my question and refer the answer you can get idea from this

It can be because Json.net is more convenient and flexible than JavaScriptSerializer. E.g. Json.net has a linq-2-json feature which allows you to build Json object "on the fly" and query Json objects using linq syntax. – Dmitrii Lobanov Feb 15 '12 at 11:21

Don't use JavaScriptSerializer. Use Newtonsoft.Json. Even Microsoft use it rather than their own System.Json. JavaScriptSerializer has a lot of problems that Newtonsoft will overcome. Plus Newtonsoft is faster. – darksider474 Dec 03 '14 at 23:35
