title: Deserializing JSON in Visual basic
body: <p>Basically, I'm trying to parse the comments from a 4chan thread using the 4chan JSON API. <a href="https://github.com/4chan/4chan-API" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/4chan/4chan-API</a></p>
  
  <p>basically, there is one rich text box called input, and another called post_text_box. What im trying to do is make it so that JSON from a 4chan thread entered in the input text box, and comments are extracted from that JSON and displayed in the output text box</p>
  
  <p>however, whenever I try clicking the Go button nothing happens.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code so far</p>
  
  <pre><code>Imports System.Web.Script.Serialization
  Imports Newtonsoft.Json
  Imports Newtonsoft.Json.Linq
  
  Public Class Form1
      Private Sub start_button_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles start_button.Click
          Dim j As Object = New JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize(Of Post)(input.Text)
  
          post_text_box.Text = j.com
      End Sub
  End Class
  
  Public Class Rootobject
      Public Property posts() As Post
  End Class
  
  Public Class Post
      Public Property no As Integer
      Public Property now As String
      Public Property name As String
      Public Property com As String
      Public Property filename As String
      Public Property ext As String
      Public Property w As Integer
