title: deserialize dynamic object
body: <p>I am having a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to deserialize my response from making calls to facebook api.  my c# code looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FacebookClient client = new FacebookClient();
  string path = "SELECT message, type, attachment FROM stream WHERE source_id = " + fbid.ToString();
  dynamic result = client.Get("fql",     new { q = path });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this is what result looks like - it comes back as json</p>
  
  <p>I need to deserialize this Dynamic object , which is a string json into a c# object.  don't know that it is possible to do a <code>foreach</code> loop on a dynamic object.  I also tried to just create an object and the deserialize to the object I created.  The problem is that as you can see there are a lot of properties that are not returned most of the time , then some times they are returned.  So the json that Facebook is returning always has a different amount of properties.  I tried doign a <code>for</code> loop then getting the objects out of json by something like response.data.message[1] , but that does not work.  Any ideas how to get this dynamic object deserialized into somethign that I can use?</p>
