Deserialization of json string from mysql and storing to the structure using c#.net

**i have two structure bill and billitems. bill have billdetails arraylist which will point to billitems. i got a json string from the mysql db using the select query. i got the json string Like below for a recod.

[{"id":46,"item":1,"quantity":10,"name":"GARLIC CHEESE ROLL ","price":"50.000","tax":{"name":null,"price":50,"quantity":10,"percent":0,"amount":0,"contents":[]{,"discount":0},{"id":47,"item":85,"quantity":1,"name":"PISTA SCOOPS","price":"70.000","tax":{"name":null,"price":70,"quantity":1,"percent":0,"amount":0,"contents":[]},"discount":0}]



now i want to split this details ("id":46,"item":1,"quantity":10,"name":"GARLIC CHEESE ROLL ","price":"50.000","tax":{"name":null,"price":50,"quantity":10,"percent":0,"amount":0,"contents":[]},"discount":0) to the structure called billitems.

Plz help me in this. thanks in advance.

<pre>public struct bill
{
    public int id;
    public DateTime docdate;
    public ArrayList billDetails;//this will point the billitems structure
};
public struct billItems

    public int item;

            dt.Load(cmd.ExecuteReader());
            for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
            {
                bills.id = Convert.ToInt32(dt.Rows[i]["id"].ToString());
                bills.docdate =Convert.ToDateTime(dt.Rows[i]["docdate"].ToString());
                bills.billDetails = new ArrayList();
                bills.billDetails = JsonConversion(dt.Rows[i]["contents"].ToString());//function to get deserialization of json string
                string str = "";
                foreach (var items in bills.billDetails)
                {
                    str= items.ToString();
                    string replacement = Regex.Replace(str, @"\t|\n|\r", "");//removing the spaces
                    replacement = Regex.Replace(replacement, " ", "");
                    details.Add(replacement);  //adding to arraylist 
                }
                bills.billDetails = details;// mapping arraylist to structure variable arraylist
//i want to assign this arralist to a structure which contains the details of billitems.
