retrive json object

foreach (BelongsTo belongs_to in query)
                    {
                   // do something . . . query is a list of Belongs_to
                    }

Error      1      Cannot convert type 'AnonymousType#1' to BelongsTo'      

Getting this error

Sorry, for example. if you look at my property classes.

I cannot pull c.names for example.
when I try this below. I get.

List<BelongsTo> query = (from c in des.results
                                select new BelongsTo {
                                 //map the properties
                                 names = c.names,
                                 age_range = c.age_range 
                               //etc
                                 }
).ToArray();

                               //etc

I do not thing  you see my structure of my classes. other wise it would be that easy.

Belongs To is it's own class though.

What is the data in des.results?

If des.Results it's a list of BelongsTo (eg: your results class) then the from operator should enumerate over the table.  

Look at example 5:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/26743/Using-LINQ-to-Objects-in-C

when you do a from you automatically get the class.

Why is it treating Des.Results as anonymous?

But the way the json data is coming in. at first it comes from the rootobject. The the root object is call the class result in which it has BelongsTo as a list that calls the BelongsTo class. But I have to call the root first because the data always return null if I return the BelongsTo as its own class.  i don't know. I see if I can figure it out. I know it suppose to work and if i was just calling the Result class i get the data. But the parent to a parent to a child is killing me.

ok the reason it is returning anonymous is because again. you guys are not looking at my class.
I am going to break it down for you.
########################### here I am starting my select using my Json file deserializing with Root object.

  Part 1
 var des = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(json);
   public class RootObject
        {
            public List<Result> results { get; set; }
           
        }

###################  Here the root object is pulling my result set where I have the class BelongsTo as a list that is pulling belongs_to . This is where it keep stopping at. So I get anonymous because I need to select in the linq statement a single property. I cannot select a single property because it does not go to the next level.

Part 2
public class Result
        {
            
            public List<BelongsTo> belongs_to { get; set; }
            
        }

Select allOpen in new window

Part 3 the result set I need to get.
 public class BelongsTo
        {
       
            public List<Name> names { get; set; }
            public object age_range { get; set; }
            public object gender { get; set; }
            public string best_name { get; set; }
        
        }

for the following reason:

var query = (from c in des.results
                             from s in c.belongs_to
                             from k in s.best_name
                             select new {s.best_name }).Distinct();
