Setting a variable name as a type

Question

I am deserializing a json object from a third party API. One of the Objects properties is a variable called "checked". In c#.net 'checked' is a type. Is there anyway to overcome this.

Im using Newtonsoft Json.net to do the deserializing.

Nothing special about the class,

public class item{
  public bool checked;
} 

Answer 1

Use the @ to prefix the name:

public class item{
  public bool @checked;
}

By the way checked is not a type but a keyword.

From MSDN:

Keywords are predefined, reserved identifiers that have special meanings to the compiler. They cannot be used as identifiers in your program unless they include @ as a prefix.
