title: Convert JSON String To C# Object
body: <p>Trying to convert a JSON string into an object in C#. Using a really simple test case:</p>
  
  <pre><code>JavaScriptSerializer json_serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
  object routes_list = json_serializer.DeserializeObject("{ \"test\":\"some data\" }");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that routes_list never gets set; it's an undefined object. Any ideas?</p>
