      {
         "elements" : [
            {
               "distance" : {
                  "text" : "4.2 km",
                  "value" : 4214
               },
               "duration" : {
                  "text" : "8 mins",
                  "value" : 467
               },

DistanceMatrix data = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer().Deserialize<DistanceMatrix>(dataString);

dataString is the result from API

public class DistanceMatrix {
    public string destination_addresses { get; set; }
    public string origin_addresses { get; set; }
    public Element rows { get; set; }
    public string status { get; set; }
}
public class Element {
    public Data distance { get; set; }
    public Data duration { get; set; }
    public string status { get; set; }
}
public class Data {
   public string text { get; set; }
   public string value { get; set; }
}

Instead of using json method use the XML api of google distance matrix api.

Which return the xml response collect it in string and parse it as fallow.

XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.LoadXml(dataString);
if (xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("status")[0].ChildNodes[0].InnerText == "OK")
{
     XmlNodeList distance = xmldoc.GetElementsByTagName("distance");
}
