Json Parsing in windows phone using DataContractJsonSerializer

Before going to start parsing json. You must be add reference to both "system.runtime.serialization" and "system.servicemodel.web". And in this sample i am using http://json2csharp.com/ for simply building a C# class from JSON formated string. And its very important is to make class as similar to Json objects. Other wise we will never parse date properly.

This is time I am going to cover DataContract JSON Serialization using DataContractJsonSerializer. DataContract JSON Serialization is mostly used by Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services, but I will try to apply this approach to Windows Phone 7 environment.
