WPF - Dynamic object from json to datagrid

I've got this problem:

I read from web a json result from a query and after I wish load it into a DataGrid object.

Here is my code:

void readData()
{
  var client = new HttpClient();

  HttpResponseMessage Response = await client.GetAsync("http://goo.gl/3LbKQy");
  int statusCode = (int)Response.StatusCode;
  string results = await Response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

  dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(results);
  myDataGrid.ItemsSource = data;
}

but my grid contains the rows empty.. my guess is that the dynamic data doesn't allow to obtain the fields info on datagrid.

The ItemsSource value needs to implement IEnumerable and the DataGrid will probably struggle to auto-generate columns as reflection does not work well with dynamic types.
