Trouble with deserializing JSON in C#

Question

Need help in deserializing of the following responce to object. I'm new in c# so I hope you won't judge strict)

    {"getappdata":
    {"general":
        {"message":""},
        "pool":
            {"hashrate":6699750,
            "workers":8873,
            "basis_pps":0.132769,
            "alt_pps":0,
            "alt_bonus":0},
        "ltc_exchange_rates":
            {"USD":"13",
            "EUR":"9.69"},
        "user":
            {"username":"overstorm",
            "balance":4.63247039,
            "hashrate":0,
            "sharerate":0,
            "invalid_share_rate":0},
        "worker":[
            {"name":"overstorm.1",
            "hashrate":0,"active":0,
            "monitoring":1},
            {"name":"overstorm.2",
            "hashrate":0,"active":0,
            "monitoring":1}],
        "earnings":
            {"basis":[],
            "alt":[],
            "24h_total":0,
            "24h_basis":0,
            "24h_alt":0,
            "24h_affiliate":0,
            "48h_total":0,
            "48h_basis":0,
            "48h_alt":0,
            "48h_affiliate":0}
    }
}

The class I created looks like this:

                    public T DeSerializeData<T>(string t)
                    {
                        return (new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<T>(t));
                    }
                }
            }


            public T DeSerializeData<T>(string t)
            {
                return (new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<T>(t));
            }
        }

And that's how I try to deserialize:

   GetAppData GAD = new GetAppData();
    GAD = jss.Deserialize<GetAppData>(jsonString);

And that's what my GAD looks like

{JSON_Test.Form1.GetAppData}

Please help) Google is already tired of me)

It seems you misunderstand your JSON structure. For better understanding you can use json viever. You can also use json2csharp.com/ to generate youd data class based on JSON sample

Your data structure should look (using Newtonsoft JSON):

Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JSON>(s);


    public class JSON
    {
        [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "getappdata")]
        public GetAppData getappdata { get; set; }
    }

    [Serializable]
    public class General
    {
       [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "message")]
       public string msg { get; set; }
    }

   [Serializable]
   public class GetAppData
   {
       [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "general")]
       public General general { get; set; }

       public Pool pool { get; set; }
       [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "ltc_exchange_rates")]

       [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "user")]
       public User user { get; set; }
       [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "worker")]
       public IList<Worker> workers { get; set; }
       [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "earnings")]
