I’ve created JavaScriptSerializer extension DeserializeDictionary- see http://geekswithblogs.net/mnf/archive/2011/06/03/javascriptserializer-extension-deserializedictionarytkey-tvalue.aspx

public static Dictionary  DeserializeDictionary(this JavaScriptSerializer jss, string jsonText)
{
    var dictWithStringKey = jss.Deserialize>(jsonText);
    var dict=dictWithStringKey.ToDictionary(de => jss.ConvertToType(de.Key),de => de.Value);
        return dict;
}
