反序列化一个包含数组的JSON数组

当我尝试用.NET JavaScriptDeserializer反序列化以下内容时，我得到错误消息:Type 'People' is not supported for deserialization of an array

当我使用JSON.NET像JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<People>>(args["xldata"]);，我得到一个更详细的错误信息:

Cannot deserialize the current JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) into type 'People' because the type requires a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) to deserialize correctly. To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) or change the deserialized type to an array or a type that implements a collection interface (e.g. ICollection, IList) like List<T> that can be deserialized from a JSON array. JsonArrayAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON array. Path '[0]', line 1, position 2.

我使用的是link - to - entities，所以我认为我不能给它添加任何属性。

args["xldata"]是一个以"xldata"为键，以下面的JSON字符串为值的Dictionary。
