I'm working with json.net to parse an array and what I'm trying to do is to assign pull the name/value pair out of the array and assign them to specific variables while parsing the jobject.

Here's what I've got in the array

[
  {
    "General": "At this time we do not have any frequent support requests."
  },
  {
    "Support": "For support inquires, please see our support page."
  }
]

And here's what I've got in the C#:

WebResponse objResponse;
WebRequest objRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(dest);
objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream()))
            {
                string json = reader.ReadToEnd();
                JArray a = JArray.Parse(json);

                //Here's where I'm stumped

            }

I'm fairly new to json and json.net so it might be a basic solution for someone else. I basically just need to assign the name/value pairs in a foreach loop so that I can output the data on the front-end. Has anyone done this before?

You can get at the data values like this:

string json = 
    "[" + 
    @"{""General"":""At this time we do not have any frequent support requests.""}," + 
    @"{""Support"":""For support inquires, please see our support page.""}" + 
    "]";

JArray a = JArray.Parse(json);

foreach (JObject o in a.Children<JObject>())
{
    foreach (JProperty p in o.Properties())
    {
        string name = p.Name;
        string value = p.Value.ToString();
        Console.WriteLine(name + ": " + value);
    }
}
