title: Using JSON.NET to parse JSON generated through PHP
body: <p>I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm not finding quite the information I'm needing so I thought I'd post this.</p>
  
  <p>I've written a PHP script that returns a simple JSON object that looks like this:</p>
  
  <p>{"status":"success","level":"admin"}</p>
  
  <p>I'm doing a standard web request that submits the required data to the script over the internet and that's working fine.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I want to use JSON.NET to pull out the individual variables so I can know what the values of "status" and "level" are. The problem is, I have no idea where to start.</p>
  
  <p>I'm doing this in VB.NET (on the .NET Compact Framework).  Can anyone help me? I've spent the last 2 hours on Google and can come up with nothing!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
