Can't get property from query in Neo4jClient C#

This is first time I try to use Neo4jClient and have no experiences. I expected my program can print out Name of people with specific relationship has assigned in Neo4j. I've got very simple code like:

    using Neo4jClient;
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;

    namespace Neo4J.NET_Labs
    {
        class Program
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
                var client = new GraphClient(new Uri("http://localhost:7474/db/data"));
                client.Connect();

                var query = client
                    .Cypher
                    .Match("(n)-[:LOVE]-(lover)")
                    .Return(lover => lover.As<Person>())
                                    ;
                int count = 0;
                foreach (var result in query.Results)
                {
                    count++;
                    Console.WriteLine("People {0} count {1}", result.name, count);
                }

        //Stop to show result
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
public class Person
{
    public string name;
}

}

Result of snip:

    People  count 1
    People  count 2

Result of Code

Could someone pls tell me how to get properties form query.Result.

It is because of the definition of the 'Person' class, JSON.Net is unable to deserialize to members, and requires properties. You can test this by running the below code:

public class Person { public string Name { get;set;} }
public class PersonWithMembers { public string Name; }

Basically identical classes, one with a property, one with a member.

//Stick this in the Main method
var pA = new Person {Name = "PersonA", Twitter = "tA"};
var pB = new Person {Name = "PersonB", Twitter = "tB"};

gc.Cypher.Create("(p:Person {person})").WithParam("person", pA).ExecuteWithoutResults();
gc.Cypher.Create("(p:Person {person})").WithParam("person", pB).ExecuteWithoutResults();

Console.WriteLine("Members:");
var membersQuery = gc.Cypher
    .Match("(p:Person)")
    .Return(p => p.As<PersonWithMembers>());

foreach (var p in membersQuery.Results)
    Console.WriteLine(p.Name);

Console.WriteLine("Properties:");
var propertiesQuery = gc.Cypher
    .Match("(p:Person)")
    .Return(p => p.As<Person>());

foreach (var p in propertiesQuery.Results)
    Console.WriteLine(p.Name);

You should get the output:

Members:


Properties:
PersonA
PersonB
