Deserializing JSON TweetSharp TwitterStatus - json

Question

I'm using Daniel Crenna's TweetSharp http://github.com/danielcrenna/tweetsharp
To serialise a TwitterStatus to file I use the code
sw.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(twitterStatus));
which produces the text
{"Id":288653019971727360,"InReplyToUserId":null,"InReplyToStatusId":null,"InReplyToScreenName":null,"truncated":false,"favorited":false,"Text":"Found the bug, dear old regular expressions","Source":"web","User":{"Id":1148081,"FollowersCount":793,"Name":"Tim Regan","Description": [...]
(N.B. I won't include it all, unless that'll help diagnosis?)
My line of code to deserialize the TwitterStatus is
var tweet = (TwitterStatus)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(line);
But that gives the error
System.InvalidCastException was unhandled
HResult=-2147467262
Message=Unable to cast object of type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject' to type 'TweetSharp.TwitterStatus'.

Can anyone see what I've got wrong?

Answer 1

I should have written:
var tweet = (TwitterStatus)JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(line, typeof(TwitterStatus));
It works now.
