Deserialize Json result

Hi

I am working on an application to access data via API using VB.NET.

I have so far managed to request for and retrieve a security token in the format as shown below:

{"success":true,"token":"eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsImNhbGciOiJERUYifQ.eNqqVkpOyc9NzMxTslLKTcxJrCzOTDRU0lFKrShQsjI0tTACYjNT01oAAAAA__8.ElaYAGRsAV43lh2OyQ4eR1wF4UIKl7tpHS7YFamVGD8"}

I need to retrieve the "token" value and use that to access the server and request specific information.

I have created a class

Public Class SecurityToken

<JsonProperty("success")>
Public Property Success As String

<JsonProperty("token")>
Public Property Token As String()

End Class

And in my code, I successfully get to this point where I get the result as shown above

Dim dataStream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(dataStream)
Dim responseFromServer As String = reader.ReadToEnd()

I am stuck at this point in trying to split the result and retrieve just the token to use in further processing.

Any help would be appreciate.

Thank you.
