json deserializing coming back empty

I took suggestions from here and tried to create a class with objects for the parts I need to parse开发者_运维知识库 from my json feed. I then tried to deserialize it before mapping the field contents to my objects but the deserialization returns nothing.

Here is the json feed content:

 "data": [
  {
     "id": "17xxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
     "from": {
        "name": "Lxxxxxx",
        "category": "Sports league",
        "id": "17xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
     },
     "picture": "http://external.ak.fbcdn.net/safe_image.php?d=AQB4GscSy-2RHY_0&w=130&h=130&url=http\u00253A\u00252F\u00252Fwww.ligabbva.com\u00252Fquiz\u00252Farchivos\u00252Fbenzema-quiz-facebook.png",

     "source": "http://www.lxxxxva.com/modulos/redirectQuiz.php?name=benzema&q=34&time=1312827103",
     "name": "DEMUESTRA CU\u00c1NTO SABES SOBRE... BENZEMA",
     "caption": "www.xxxxxva.com",
     "description": "Demuestra cu\u00e1nto sabes sobre Karim Benzema, delantero del Real Madrid.",
     "icon": "http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v1/yj/r/v2OnaTyTQZE.gif",
     "type": "video",
     "created_time": "2011-08-08T18:11:54+0000",
     "updated_time": "2011-08-08T18:11:54+0000",
     "likes": {
        "data": [
           {
              "name": "Jhona Arancibia",
              "id": "100000851276736"
           },
           {
              "name": "Luis To\u00f1o",
              "id": "100000735350531"
           },
           {
              "name": "Manuel Raul Guerrero Cumbicos",
              "id": "100001485973224"
           },
           {
              "name": "Emmanuel Gutierrez",
              "id": "100000995038988"
           }
        ],
        "count": 127
     },
     "comments": {
        "count": 33
     }
  },
  {
     "id": "17xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
     "from": {
        "name"

and here is the code I am trying. I tried to also use the jsontextreader and loop through each tokentype and check each one and then read the value but this looks like it will turn out to be tedious.

....
 //fetch the content
 responsedata = reader.readtoend()
 ......
dim pp as facedata = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(of faceData)(responsedata)
console.writeline(pp.id.tostring)

and the class objects

  Public Class faceData
   Public Property id() as string 
      Get
           Return f_id
      End Get
      Set(ByVal value as string)
           f_id =value
      End Set
   End Property
   Private f_id as string 

   ......

any response appreciated.

Does anyone have links to full code where it actually works using vb.net.
