Converting dynamic type to dictionary C#

Question

I have a dynamic object that looks like this,

 {
    \"2\" : \"foo\",
    \"5\" : \"bar\",
    \"8\" : \"foobar\"
 }

How can I convert this

Answer 1

You can use a RouteValueDictionary to convert a C# object to a dictionary. See: RouteValueDictionary Class - MSDN. It converts object properties to key-value pairs.

Use it like this:

var toBeConverted = new {
    foo = 2,
    bar = 5,
    foobar = 8
};

var result = new RouteValueDictionary(toBeConverted);
