JSON to C# POCO - again!

This is really frustrating.  There are so many (bad) ways to deserialize JSON in C#.

In my previous post, we discovered that dynamic types really are not a good way to do it.

Now I have discovered that new JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<T>(json) will not convert datetimes properly.  Json.Decode<T>(json) has the same issue.

EDIT:

Today I tried ReadAsAsync<T>.  I originally had datetime conversion issues, but it was because my C# POCO did not have the correct property names.  If the json is not from ASP.NET and the JSON keys have underscores, your POCO property names must have underscores also.
