Convert complex json into c# Object

Question

I am working on a pretty complex json. I have converted whatever needed till now using JSON.Net, but i am stuck in a part of this json. Following is the snippet of the json which i am unable to resolve.

{
    "name": "BIRTHDATE",
    "path": "BIRTHDATE",
    "locale": "IFA_EN_GB",
    "hasAnswer": true,
    "isSatisfied": false,
    "triggeredLines": [],
    "answers": [
        "100"
    ],
    "validationErrors": {
        "100": [
            "Please enter a valid date."
        ],
                "10": [
            "Please enter a valid date."
        ].....
    },
    "definition": null
},

How can i resolve this section.

"validationErrors": {
        "100": [
            "Please enter a valid date."
        ],
                "10": [
            "Please enter a valid date."
        ].....
    }

Class created for deserialization.

public class Question
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public string path { get; set; }
    public string locale { get; set; }
    public bool hasAnswer { get; set; }
    public bool isSatisfied { get; set; }
    public List<object> triggeredLines { get; set; }
    public List<string> answers { get; set; }
    public object validationErrors { get; set; }
    public object definition { get; set; }
}

What did you try so far? Please show your code and where specifically you´re stuck. — MakePeaceGreatAgain

create a class like this to deserialize. public class Question { public string name { get; set; } public string path { get; set; } public string locale { get; set; } public bool hasAnswer { get; set; } public bool isSatisfied { get; set; } public List<object> triggeredLines { get; set; } public List<string> answers { get; set; } public object validationErrors { get; set; } public object definition { get; set; } } — Rober

Paste your JSON here.: app.quicktype.io/#l=cs&r=json2csharp The rest it will do on its own. — Praneet Nadkar

This json:

"validationErrors": {
        "100": [
            "Please enter a valid date."
        ],
                "10": [
            "Please enter a valid date."
        ].....
    }

Is a Dictionary<string,string[]>. so your Question object should have

public Dictionary<string,string[]> validationErrors { get; set; }
