Json: how to properly strip the escape characters with json.net

Question

I have json response in the below format.

\"[{\\\\\\\"JobID\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"1\\\\\\\",\\\\\\\"BillGenerationDate\\\\\\\":\\\\\\\"4/29/2013 2:53:34 PM\\\\\\\         


        

Answer 1

The problem occurs when valid double quotes are used within the answer. Removing and/or Replacing won't solved this in all cases. It frustrated me too until I found a simple solution:

var billList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>>(@contentCorrected);
