HttpResponseMessage response = httpClient.GetAsync(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ServerAddress"] + "api/data/v8.0/" + uri, HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead).Result;
            JObject responseObject = new JObject();
            if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                responseObject = JObject.Parse(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result);

 dynamic systemUserObject = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jRetrieveResponse.ToString());

                foreach (var data in systemUserObject.value)
                {
               var contactType= data.contacttype.Value;
                }
         
            }

    Here main problem is assining values to properties and need to check field existance before assining value to property like below ? Any Ideas?

      foreach (var data in systemUserObject.value)

                   {

                  var contactType= data.contacttype.Value;

                   }

    if (retrieveResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode)

                   {

                       var Content = await retrieveResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

                       ODataResponse<T>  odataresponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<ODataResponse<T>>(Content);

                   }

    public class ODataResponse<T>

    {

           public T[] Value { get; set; }

      }

    Kind regards,
