Uzair, Here is a complete example just to show you they work

string json = @"{
        ""id"" : 77239923,
        ""username"" : ""UzEE"",
        ""email"" : ""uzee@email.net"",
        ""name"" : ""Uzair Sajid"",
        ""twitter_screen_name"" : ""UzEE"",
        ""join_date"" : ""2012-08-13T05:30:23Z05+00"",
        ""timezone"" : 5.5,
        ""access_token"" : {
            ""token"" : ""nkjanIUI8983nkSj)*#)(kjb@K"",
            ""scope"" : [ ""read"", ""write"", ""bake pies"" ],
            ""expires"" : 57723
        },
        ""friends"" : [{
            ""id"" : 2347484,
            ""name"" : ""Bruce Wayne""
        },
        {
            ""id"" : 996236,
            ""name"" : ""Clark Kent""
        }]
    }";

var obj = (JObject)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
Type type = typeof(int);
var i1 = System.Convert.ChangeType(obj["id"].ToString(), type);
var i2 = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(obj["id"].ToString(), type);
