Extract few values from JSON Array

Question

The problem I am facing is that I am getting 0's for the values I ask for in the JSON.

I recently asked a question here about getting specific values from a JSON array response that come from an API.

Now I have a new JSON response from a different route and in there I want one values and its called EntityId its places in a block of Entity See the code for more details, I would like to grab that from this response and place them in a list or Array because it tells me who submitted the assignment in D2L.

UPDATE- After getting comments from a user I used JSON to C# tool to create the full class with all the values but I still get the values as 0,0,0,0.

Right now I am getting 0,0,0,0 values and not getting the actual values if it's possible I would like to grab the whole block on Entity.

    public int EntityId { get; set; }
    public string EntityType { get; set; }
    public bool Active { get; set; }
}

public class SubmittedBy
{
    public string Identifier { get; set; }
    public string DisplayName { get; set; }

public class Comment
{
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public string Html { get; set; }

    public SubmittedBy SubmittedBy { get; set; }
    public DateTime SubmissionDate { get; set; }
    public Comment Comment { get; set; }
    public IList<File> Files { get; set; }
}

public class Example
{
    public Entity Entity { get; set; }
    public int Status { get; set; }
    public object Feedback { get; set; }
    public IList<Submission> Submissions { get; set; }
    public DateTime CompletionDate { get; set; }
}

Code:

var request = new RestRequest(string.Format(Link));
request.Method = Method.GET;

authenticator.Authenticate(client, request);

var response = client.Execute(request);

var thisasa = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Example>> 
   (response.Content).Select(
    o => o.Identifier).ToList();

Answer 1

The Example data model shown in your question already can be used to successfully deserialize the JSON shown. All that's left is to pick out the Entity.EntityId property via a Select:

var thisasa = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Example>>(response.Content)
    .Select(o => o.Entity.EntityId)
    .ToList();

Demo fiddle #1 here.

Incidentally, if you only need Entity.EntityId you could simplify your data model as follows:

public class Entity
{
    public int EntityId { get; set; }
}

public class Example
{
    public Entity Entity { get; set; }
}

Demo fiddle #2 here.

(As an aside, since your Example class corresponds to the documented object Dropbox.EntityDropbox, you might want to rename your type to EntityDropbox for clarity.)
