Parsing json objects

Question

I'm having trouble understanding how to parse JSON string into c# objects with Visual .NET. The task is very easy, but I'm still lost... I get this string:

{"single_token":"842269070","username":"example123","version":1.1}

And this is the code where I try to desterilize:

namespace _SampleProject
{
    public partial class Downloader : Form
    {
        public Downloader(string url, bool showTags = false)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            string jsonURL = "http://localhost/jev";   
            source = client.DownloadString(jsonURL);
            richTextBox1.Text = source;
            JavaScriptSerializer parser = new JavaScriptSerializer();
            parser.Deserialize<???>(source);
        }

I don't know what to put between the '<' and '>', and from what I've read online I have to create a new class for it..? Also, how do I get the output? An example would be helpful!

Following is the code..

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AcceptAllCertifications);

        request = WebRequest.Create("https://myipaddress/api/admin/configuration/v1/conference/1/");

        request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("admin", "admin123");
        // Create POST data and convert it to a byte array.
        request.Method = "GET";          

                // Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
        request.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8";          


        WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
        // Display the status.
        Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
        // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
        dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
        // Read the content.
        string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
        JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        var obj = js.Deserialize<dynamic>(responseFromServer);
        Label1.Text = obj["name"];
        // Display the content.
        Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
        // Clean up the streams.
        reader.Close();
        dataStream.Close();
        response.Close();
