How can I do System.Web.Script.Serialization in C#?

Question

How can I do this in C# modern UI ?

var url = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/feed/load?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digg.com%2Frss%2Findex.xml&v=1.0";
var wc = new WebClient();
var rawFeedData = wc.DownloadString(url);

//You can use System.Web.Script.Serialization if you don't want to use Json.NET
JavaScriptSerializer ser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
FeedApiResult foo = ser.Deserialize<FeedApiResult>(rawFeedData);

//Json.NET also return you the same strong typed object     
var apiResult = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<FeedApiResult>(rawFeedData);

It gives me error an error in WebClient and System.Web.Script.Serialization

Answer 1

I found how to make it work.
I don't know why they did this mess and I don't even understand why but here's the solution: Right click on project and add reference to:

System.Web.Extensions

than you can add the reference you need with:

using System.Web.Script.Serialization;

and this time it will work. (At least this is what I did on .NET framework 3.5)
