To assign values to a Dictionary

I am getting below mentioned error when assgining JSON object like this:

 pushNotification.NotificationMessageList = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(response);

Here NotificationMessageList is a Dictionary as mentioned below:

Dictionary<string, string> NotificationMessageList { get; }

Error: Property or indexer 'IPushNotifications.NotificationMessageList' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only (CS0200)

Can anyone assist me to fix the issue?

You have defined the Dictionary as read-only property, So it won't allow you to assign values if you really want to assign means to make it as normal property, include set; which means the property definition will be like this:

Dictionary<string, string> NotificationMessageList { get; set;}

The getter and setter are known as Accessors, you can read more about them from This MSDN Blog

obviously you can't deserialise response into a dictionary. would you consider using JObject instead? it's easy to use and quite close to dictionary.

var o = JObject.Parse(response);
//to get the value
var value = o["key_name"].Value<type>()
