C# json.net: not able to deserialize [duplicate]

Question

This is the example json from json.net website

public class Account
{
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public bool Active { get; set; }
    public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
    public IList<string> Roles { get; set; }
}

usage:

string json = @"{
  'Email': '[email protected]',
  'Active': true,
  'CreatedDate': '2013-01-20T00:00:00Z',
  'Roles': [
    'User',
    'Admin'
  ]
}";

Account account = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Account>(json);

Console.WriteLine(account.Email);

But when I run it I'm getting error:

Unable to find a constructor to use for type Gogch.Account. A class should either have a default constructor, one constructor with arguments or a constructor marked with the JsonConstructor attribute. Path 'Email', line 1, position 9.

I added an empty constructor as said in another topic, but I'm still getting the same error. Any help is appreciated.

I added an empty constructor as said in another topic Can you show us the full code for Account, then? — Rob

The code you've given here works fine for me. Is this only giving you a problem in Xamarin, or are you able to reproduce it in a quick console app? — Jon Skeet

There is nothing wrong with your above code... The error is definitely somewhere else. I ran your code using Newtonsoft.Json and it worked fine..Please go through the other portion of your source code.
