C# Json.NET - json to c# object

Question

I have the following json which I am trying to convert into a C# object using json.net.

{
    "torrents": [
        [
            "03FE02E76D99D94B9FF7689080F168C70BC2A3B7",
            136, "02 - Aleph One.mp3", 98206320,
            0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "",
            0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 98206320,
            "", "", "Stopped 0.0 %", "4",
            1427414173, 0, "", "D:\\downloading",
            0, "481B6500"
        ],
        [
            "6D5A14A99970EF0366F69BF21BD6633D19F8C80C",
             128, "01 - Infinity Mix 1.mp3", 279245285,
             0, 212992, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "",
             0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 279032293,
             "", "", "Stopped 0.0 %", "3",
             1427414139, 0, "", "D:\\downloading",
             0, "C32DD134"
        ]
    ]
}

I have the following code, I am not sure why it is not working, maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

The error message I am getting is: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

var ds = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TorrentList>(json);
MessageBox.Show(ds.Torrents[0].Name);

.

{
    public Torrent[] Torrents { get; set; }
}

Add a null check here, Probably your Items are null,

if(ds != null)
{
   if(ds.count > 0 )
    { 
      if(ds.Torrents.count > 0)
       {
      MessageBox.Show(ds.Torrents[0].Name);
       }
   }
}
