If you're using Newtonsoft.Json then you can use JsonConvert.DeserializeObject and dynamic to get the results as a JObject . Then you can iterate over the results:

    var results = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(json);
    foreach (var item in results)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(item.CustomerID);
    }

Or, you can use LINQ to get only the CustomerIDs:

    var customerIds = ((IEnumerable<dynamic>)results).Select(r => r.CustomerID);
    foreach (var id in customerIds)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(id);
    }
