Mailchimp.net API and content struct for editable content not displaying - mailchimp

Question

I'm trying to send content to a campaign template in MailChimp using MailChimp.net API. My template contains `
<b>mc:edit="question"</b>`
And the MailChimp API wants a JSON string in a struct/associative array. However, I can't seem to get the data to show up in the editable section and I've tried several different ways:
CampaignSegmentOptions segmentOptions = new CampaignSegmentOptions();
segmentOptions.Match = "All";
CampaignCreateContent content = new CampaignCreateContent();
content.HTML = "<p>Testing</p>";
CampaignCreateOptions options = new CampaignCreateOptions();
options.Title = "Testing";
options.ListId = listID;
options.ToName = "Test Name";
options.FromEmail = "user#example.com";
options.FromName = "Testing from Example.com";
options.Subject = "Test Subject";
options.FacebookComments = false;
//Using struct attempt
sections s = new sections();
s.question = "What did the lion need?";
//Using string attempt
//String[] s = new string [] {"question\":\"What did the lion need?"};
//Using dictionary attempt
Dictionary<string,string> dict = new Dictionary<string,string>();
dict.Add("question","What did the lion need?");
content.Sections = dict;
Campaign result = mc.CreateCampaign("regular", options, content);
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Solved. In my case the Dictionary approach was the only one that worked. I found that whenever I edited an existing MailChimp template, MailChimp appeared to rewrete my mc:edit fields after I saved them and added their own code making my mc:edit fields break. However, if I exported one of their templates to my desktop, and then imported it back as a new template, I found that editing the template on their website no longer changed my code after saving. I remember seeing a note in the documentation about exporting and importing, but nothing that implied that was the only way to keep my fields intact.
