Json.Net Key/Value Pair to dictonary object

Question

I am trying to extract the below key-value pair in JSON to dictonary.

var str = @" 
{
   ""tables"": {
    ""category"": ""Category"",
    ""subcategory"": ""SubCategory"",
    ""tfs"": ""tfs"",
    ""tickets"": ""snowtickets"",
    ""ticketcategoryauto"": ""TicketCategoryAuto"",
    ""ticketcategoryuserselected"": ""TicketCategoryManual""
  }
}
";


  var jo = JObject.Parse(str);
  var x = from c in jo["tables"] select c;

I want the "tables" node of this Json into a dictionary object. so if I say x["category"] should get back "Category" similarly for other keys. How can I do that.

@SirRufo Thanks! How can extract the partial object out. Just need the tables node. — Shiju Samuel, Jul 23 '16 at 06:48
Thanks got it - Dictionary values = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>(jo["tables"].ToString()); — Shiju Samuel, Jul 23 '16 at 06:52

tables is a dictionary type object so you need to return it as a type of Dictionary.

var jo = JObject.Parse(str);
Dictionary<string, string> values = jo["tables"].ToObject<Dictionary<string,string>>();
