If you are deserializing to a typed object your class name does not have to match anything within the json.? Can you make it something other than "Event" and then make sure the property name matches with your json string.? Something like the following

? public class Root
???? {
???????? public int id { get; set; }
???????? public string type { get; set; }
???????? public EventItem event { get; set; }

???? }

???? public class EventItem
???? {
???????? public string event_type { get; set; }
???????? public DateTime time_fired { get; set; }
???????? public string origin { get; set; }
???? }

NewtonSoft allows you to use JsonProperty to perform a renaming of an
element of a class to avoid a similar conflict but I can't find anything
that will solve this problem for a class.

ERROR? (LGSPLS1000)?? 'Event' already defined

???? public class Root
???? {
???????? public int id { get; set; }
???????? public string type { get; set; }
???????? public Event @event { get; set; }

???? }

???? public class Event
???? {
???????? public string event_type { get; set; }
???????? public DateTime time_fired { get; set; }
???????? public string origin { get; set; }
???? }

Thanks in advance for the help

Or use the decorator JsonProperty("Event") and JsonConvert will use that name from the Json to assign the class property (whatever it's called)

Or make the class internal and then S+ won't even see it.

?

All the best,
