Update String in JArray in c#

Question

I'm trying to update the status of User 2 to DONE

I got this JSON array

[
    {
        "id":"YWauEwCUIe",
        "name":"User 1",
        "status":"DONE"
    },
    {
        "id":"JgwCjgvU5b",
        "name":"User 2",
        "status":"WAIT"
    }
]

I tried with this code, but it not going to work.

mUsers[0][status] = "DONE";

Welcome to Stack Overflow. Did you try mUsers[0]["status"] = "DONE"; instead? It would help if you could provide a minimal reproducible example rather than just a line of code, and explain exactly what happens with what you've tried, rather than just "it not going to work". — Jon Skeet

I tried with ['status'] and now try ["status"] and it worked. BTW Thanks. — Shahrad Elahi

Single quotes are for literal values of char type, whereas double quotes are for string. That's why double quotes work and single quotes don't. — s.m.

With [0] you are changing the status of "User 1"
For "User 2" you need to use [1] and also write "status" between quotation marks

 mUsers[1]["status"] = "DONE";

Provide the name status as a String in the JSON-Array like this:

mUsers[0]["status"] = "DONE";
