Thanks Rick. Part of the json is a list but I had my List in the wrong place. I am just getting started with c# so a lot to learn.

>The issue here is that you're deserializing a list into a dictionary or vice versa. You need to make sure you use the right data type that matches the export. An array maps to an array, list or hashset. Dictionaries serialize different using key/value pair syntax.
