Have you tried using the generic DeserializeObject method?

JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(myjsondata);

Any missing fields in the JSON data should simply be left NULL.

If the JSON string is an array, try this:

var jarray = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject>(myjsondata);

jarray should then be a List.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

The exception you're getting isn't consistent with an array of objects- I think the serializer is having problems with your Dictionary-typed accountstatusmodifiedby property.

Try excluding the accountstatusmodifiedby property from the serialization and see if that helps. If it does, you may need to represent that property differently.
