Well, you copied this code form one of my responses and clearly have no idea what it does.  

jsonResult is a .NET object Rootobject not a string.

Hi,

Try perhaps https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/DeserializeDictionary.htm or maybe you want a Dictionary<string,RootObject> ?

Showing code that fails is not always enough to understand what is your exact intent. I'm not even sure if you want to use VB or C# ;-)

It told that because from the 4 lines you posted the first two are using VB.NET and the next ones C#.. If you "want to  add the deserialized json" (that is an object not a string) "to a dictionary" it should be:

Dictionary<string,Rootobject> str = new Dictionary<string,Rootobject>();
str.Add("result",jsonResult); error here

I suspect that you may want instead to load each properties in a Dictionary<string,string> which is shown in the product documentation at :
