I'm getting the following error: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Sorry. I don't have any control over that. Yes, it makes more sense if it was always an array, but that's what I get from the web service feed.

I'm trying to select all users with a roleId of 4. How can I do that? Here's my JSON string:

{
"?xml" : {
"@version" : "1.0",
"@encoding" : "UTF-8"
},
"DataFeed" : {
"@FeedName" : "AdminData",
"People" : [{
"id" : "63",
"active" : "1",
"firstName" : "Joe",
"lastName" : "Schmoe",
"roleIds" : {
"int" : "4"
}
} , {
"id" : "65",
"active" : "1",
"firstName" : "Steve",
"lastName" : "Jobs",
"roleIds" : {
"int" : ["4", "16", "25", "20", "21", "22", "17", "23", "18"]
}
} , {
"id" : "66",
"active" : "1",
"firstName" : "Bill",
"lastName" : "Gates",
"roleIds" : {
"int" : ["3", "16", "25", "20"]
}
}
]
}
}

Here's the query that I'm using:

JObject jsonFeed = JObject.Parse(jsonText);

from people in jsonFeed.SelectTokens("DataFeed.People").SelectMany(i => i.ObjectsOrSelf())
where (int)people\["active"\] == 1 && (int)people\["roleIds.int"\] == 4 // <-- this causes the error
select new PeopleClass
{
	Id = (int)people\["id"\],
	ResAnFName = (string)people\["firstName"\],
	ResAnLName = (string)people\["lastName"\]
}

I'm getting the following error on (int)people["roleIds.int"] == 4: ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value In the end, my results should be: Joe Schmoe & Steve Jobs, only. What am I doing wrong?
