How to parse a JSONString To Dataset?

Question

I am creating a C# Application using Web Services. In my Web Services I\'m using a JSONString data. But I\'m not able to convert this string into a DataSe

As a dynamic C# solution(when you don't know the object structure to deserialize) by using @Dhaval's answer and after invaliding Deserialize<>() method I use below method to do that:

Update: DataSet.ReadXml has some options in reading XML node as XmlReadMode:

private static DataSet ReadDataFromJson(string jsonString, XmlReadMode mode = XmlReadMode.Auto)
{
    //// Note:Json convertor needs a json with one node as root
    jsonString = $"{{ \"rootNode\": {{{jsonString.Trim().TrimStart('{').TrimEnd('}')}}} }}";
    //// Now it is secure that we have always a Json with one node as root 
    var xd = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(jsonString);

    //// DataSet is able to read from XML and return a proper DataSet
    var result = new DataSet();
    result.ReadXml(new XmlNodeReader(xd), mode);
    return result;
}

E.g. If you want to infer a strongly typed schema from the data:

var dataset = ReadDataFromJson(yourString, XmlReadMode.InferTypedSchema);
