this json string

{\"currentdatetime\":\"21-09-2014 17:48:00\",\"currenttime\":\"17:48:00.2360971\"} 

i want convert class

public class currentdatetimejson     {         public string currentdatetime { get; set; }         public string currenttime { get; set; }     } 

i using newtonsoft.json deserialize.

following code deserialize

var = jsonconvert.deserializeobject<currentdatetimejson>(jsonstring); 

i getting following error

error converting value "{"currentdatetime":"21-09-2014 17:51:56","currenttime":"17:51:56.9643252"}" type 'currentdatetimejson'.

code produces json

 public string getcurrentdatetimejson()         {             currentdatetime cdt = new currentdatetime()             {                 currentdatetime = datetime.now.tostring(),                 currenttime = datetime.now.timeofday.tostring()             };              string json = jsonconvert.serializeobject(cdt);             return json;         }
