C# object that represents TFS service hook events

I'm looking for a C# object that matches the sample payload of the build.complete event found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/service-hooks/events?view=vsts#build.complete. The reference page recommends a nuget package but I can't find a "BuildCompleteEvent" in it.
I am looking for this object because I have a TFS service hook outputting to an Azure Storage Queue, and when I read that message off the queue in an Azure Function I want to be able to parse the message string as a useful C# object.

For "Build completed" event:
public class Message
{
public string text { get; set; }
public string html { get; set; }
public string markdown { get; set; }

public class DetailedMessage

C# Get Json Response into an Array

Through webrequest I am getting response text which is in Json I use Newtonsoft.Json to parse. I created classes with the help of examples from stackoverflow website but couldn't figure out how to loop whole response into an array or datatable/dataview.
JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();

public string rel { get; set; }

Json string deserialization C#

I have this json
and i want to deserialize it so I can get each object's value for example:
"icon_url": "-9a81dlWLwJ2UUGcVs_nsVtzdOEdtWwKGZZLQHTxDZ7I56KU0Zwwo4NUX4oFJZEHLbXH5ApeO4YmlhxYQknCRvCo04DEVlxkKgpouLWzKjhzw8zFdC5K092kl5SClMj3PLXFhGpC_Pp8j-3I4IG7i1Hn_UI-Nmj3ItDGe1BoN1mCr1G4xL_vhMS8tcmcn3JhuihwsHvbzQv3309k3tBw8A",
The problem is I can make the class(es) that I need so I can deserialize the json because the json string has nested objects.

I used json2csharp to help me generate classes. After some merging and cleaning up, this is what I got:
public class InventoryItem
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string classid { get; set; }
public string instanceid { get; set; }
public string amount { get; set; }
public int pos { get; set; }
}
public class AppData
{
public string def_index { get; set; }
public int? is_itemset_name { get; set; }
public int? limited { get; set; }
}
public class Description
{
public string type { get; set; }
public string value { get; set; }
public string color { get; set; }
public AppData app_data { get; set; }
}
public class Action
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string link { get; set; }
}
public class Tag
{
public string internal_name { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string category { get; set; }
public string category_name { get; set; }
public string color { get; set; }
}
public class RgDescription
{
public string appid { get; set; }
public string classid { get; set; }
public string instanceid { get; set; }
public string icon_url { get; set; }
public string icon_url_large { get; set; }
public string icon_drag_url { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
public string market_hash_name { get; set; }
public string market_name { get; set; }
public string name_color { get; set; }
public string background_color { get; set; }
public string type { get; set; }
public int tradable { get; set; }
public int marketable { get; set; }
public int commodity { get; set; }
public string market_tradable_restriction { get; set; }
public List<Description> descriptions { get; set; }
public List<Action> actions { get; set; }
public List<Action> market_actions { get; set; }
public List<Tag> tags { get; set; }
}
public class RootObject
{
public bool success { get; set; }
public IDictionary<string, InventoryItem> rgInventory { get; set; }
public List<object> rgCurrency { get; set; }
public IDictionary<string, RgDescription> rgDescriptions { get; set; }
public bool more { get; set; }
public bool more_start { get; set; }
}
These appear to work correctly, you can deserialize and serialize with code like this:
var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(oldString);
Console.WriteLine(obj.rgDescriptions["310776560_302028390"].icon_url); // e.g.
var newString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj,
new JsonSerializerSettings { NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore });
// null value handling is optional, the above makes it a little more like the source string

Deserialize JSON to C# Object - No Data being deserialized

Found an odd issue when trying to deserialize a JSON string into a C# Object. It "seems" to perform the operation successfully (as in it does not throw any exception etc), however the outputted POCO contains does not contain any data from the JSON string, it only contains type default data (nulls,"", 0 etc). I have tried this process with other JSON and it works fine.
private string GetJson()
{

Any ideas - Im sure I have missed something glaringly obvious but I cannot see it. Using .NET 4.5
Help appreciated.

Look like you JSON string is not in correct format that you are trying to deserialize. For example i have not find show property in the C# class but it present in JSON.

So this issue I couldn't figure out in the night or early in the morning - it took me till this afternoon until I realised that I was had the wrong JSON!!, so no wonder it wasn't working! I got mixed up with a few different apis that provided JSON. Thanks to those who had pointed out that the class looks wrong, made me double check my code and realise the simplicity of this issue. Kinda needed some rubber ducking to spot the problem. Cheers

How to parse Json from the RootObject?

I am trying to parse JSON response so I created some classes.
Actually I want Leg and Flight class element value. I am trying to get those element value from RootObject but I don't know how to do this. I googled but I am little bit confuse.
I paste my JSON respose , Classes !!

}
Code :
var obj0 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<RootObject>(responsedata);
Here I got only Trip class element . I want the Leg and Flight class element.

If you want to find information for a specific leg, you need to use Linq to traverse the tree. For example, if you just know the leg id, you could do something like this:
var allLegs = obj0.trips.tripOption.SelectMany(to => to.slice.SelectMany(sl => sl.segment.Select(sg => sg.leg)));
var leg = allLegs.FirstOrDefault(l => l.id == "yourId");
The query for retrieving a flight would be similar. You could also filter by tripOption id to get a specific tripOption and then retrieve flights or legs that are associated with it.
