C# Json formatting from Class

I have a C# class

public class occ
{
    public datetime from    { get; set; }
    public datetime to      { get; set; }
    public string   Ktype   { get; set; }
    public flag     bool    { get; set; }
}

that I fill from an EF6.0 function coming from a stored procedure

I was asked to create for each record of that class a Json of this format

{
"Ktype": [
    {
        "from"
        "to"
        "flag"
    }
]

}

I have a little experience with Json. Some folks here have helped me to catch up.

Until now I knew that the "outer" attribute (I do not know how to call it...sorry) came from the class name.

In this example the Ktype is a part of the class.

How can I Json-serialize this class and have Ktype as an outer Json attrib?

I want something like this:

 {
        "TRC": [{"from":"2016-02-09","to":"2016-02-16","flag":true}]
 }

{
        "TRX": [{"from":"2016-02-12","to":"2016-02-18","flag":false}]
}

Use SerializeObject from newtonsoft lib:

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(new occ(), Formatting.Indented);

Create a KTypeDto like this

public class KTypeDto
{
    public List<KType> KTypes { get; set;}
}

public class KType
{
    public Datetime From { get; set; }
    public Datetime To { get; set; }
    public Flag Bool { get; set; }
}

The following when populated and serialized yields the json below:

public class Root
{
    public List<Ktype> Ktype { get; set; } = new List<Ktype>();
}
public class Ktype
{
    public DateTime from { get; set; }
    public DateTime to { get; set; }
    public bool flag { get; set; }
}

json:

{
    "Ktype": [{
        "from": "2016-01-28T14:43:10.3103658+00:00",
        "to": "2016-01-28T14:43:10.3103658+00:00",
        "flag": true
    }]
}

If I understand you correctly, maybe this will help you: 

public class occ
{
    public List<Ktype> ktype { get; set;}

    public occ()
    {
        this.ktype = new List<Ktype>();
    }
}

public class Ktype
{
    public datetime from    { get; set; }
    public datetime to      { get; set; }
    public flag     bool    { get; set; }
}
