Deserializing Json with RestSharp to get properties

I am having a problem extracting the "Id" property from the following JSON result using RestSharp: **Here is the JSON*:

{

  "odata.metadata":"Api/v1/$metadata#Folders","odata.count":"1","value":
  [

    {

      "odata.id":"/Api/v1/Folders('c8644e97b4ca4353b5bd74a0cc37588214')","[email protected]":"/Api/v1/Folders('c8644e97b4ca4353b5bd74a0cc37588214')/Presentations","#UpdatePermissions":
      {

        "target":"Api/v1/Folders('c8644e97b4ca4353b5bd74a0cc37588214')/UpdatePermissions"

      }
      ,"Id":"c8644e97b4ca4353b5bd74a0cc37588214","Name":"2013-AAFGSW","Owner":"John Doe","Description":"EPIDEM 150.03, Summer 2013","CreationDate":"2014-06-09T22:00:43","LastModified":"2014-06-09T22:00:43","ParentFolderId":"2f5469c7bdf641878c8baf2988ceeb9a14","Recycled":false,"Type":"Folder"

    }

  ]

}

Here are my classes that I am using:

public class Value
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Owner { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string CreationDate { get; set; }
    public string LastModified { get; set; }
    public string ParentFolderId { get; set; }
    public bool Recycled { get; set; }
    public string Type { get; set; }
}

public class FolderRoot <T>
{

    public List<Value> value { get; set; }
}

Here is the request code:

                var BuildFolderIdRequest = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
                BuildFolderIdRequest.Resource = string.Format("Folders?$filter=Name eq '{0}'",x.event_locator);
                BuildFolderIdRequest.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;
                BuildFolderIdRequest.OnBeforeDeserialization = resp => { resp.ContentType = "application/json"; };
                BuildFolderIdRequest.AddHeader("apikey", ApiKey);
    var Fold = MediasiteClient.Execute<FolderRoot<Value>>(BuildFolderIdRequest);
                Console.WriteLine("The folder content is {0}", Fold.Content);
                Console.WriteLine("The folder Id is {0}", Fold.Data.????);
                Console.ReadKey();

The problem is trying to extract the "Id" -- as I can't do it with "Fold.Data.Id" , instead i just get "Fold.Data.value" as my only option...

Looks like you're using MediaSite's new v7 REST API. Try the following just before executing your request:

BuildFolderIdRequest.RootElement = "value";

If you look at the raw JSON results you were already receiving with Fold.Content you should see that the results you want are under the node called value. Without that mapping, deserialization might not work. Best of luck.

I think you need to select an element of your list before you can get an ID from it, like

        Fold.Data[0].Id

Does that work? I am not overly familiar with de-serialization, but that's what it looks like to me.

Is the type of "Folder.Data.value" a list?
