JSON Class with a List of another Class

Question

I'll try to explain this as best as I can. I have a class called Prospect which contains strings of email, company, firstname, lastname, phone.

I have the requirement to ouput Prospect information in JSON in the format of

[
   {"email":"[email protected]",
      "properties":[
      {
        "property":"company",
        "value": "Company Name"
      },
        "property":"firstname",
        "value":"John"
      },
        "property":"surname",
         "value":"Smith"
      },
        "property":"phone",
        "value":"01234567891"
      }]
  }
]

I need to output JSON of all prospects I capture. I have tried this by creating a class of Customer:

public class Customer
{
    public string email { get; set; }
    public List<Property> properties { get; set; }

}

and a class of Property:

public class Property
{
    public string property { get; set; }
    public string value { get; set; }
}

I cant for the life of me get the result i am after. I thinks its the List of Property in the Customer class. If i change the List to a string and define only one value here, the output is fine.

Please help :(

Thank you to everyone who provided comments. Your guidance helped me resolve my issue.

        public class Customer
    {
        public string email { get; set; }
        public List<Property> properties { get; set; }
    }

    public class Property
    {
        public string property { get; set; }
        public string value { get; set; }
    }



    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {


        Customer _c = new Customer();
        _c.email = email.Text;
        _c.properties = new List<Property>();
        _c.properties.Add(new Property{ property = "company", value = company.Text });
        _c.properties.Add(new Property { property = "website", value = website.Text });
        _c.properties.Add(new Property { property = "firstname", value = firstname.Text });
        _c.properties.Add(new Property { property = "lastname", value = lastname.Text });
        _c.properties.Add(new Property { property = "phone", value = phone.Text });

        string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(_c, Formatting.Indented);
        outputBox.Text = json;

    }
