Using JSON.NET to serialize the following JSON data

I'm really struggling with serializing some JSON data, the end result needs to look like this:

{ 
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "method":"user.authenticate",
    "params":{
        "user":"<login>",
        "password":"<password>"
    },
    "id":2
}

I'm trying to make use of JSON.NET, i'm passing the data in via a method but i just can't get my head around it. Any idea's on how i can get started?

thanks

There may well be better ways of doing it, but this seems to work:

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using System;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string json = ConvertToJson("jon", "secret");
        Console.WriteLine(json);
    }

    static string ConvertToJson(string login, string password)
    {
        JObject container = new JObject();
        container["jsonrpc"] = "2.0";
        container["method"] = "user.authenticate";
        container["id"] = 2;

        JObject p = new JObject();
        p["user"] = login;
        p["password"] = password;
        container["params"] = p;
        return container.ToString();
    }

}
