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 fill the dictionary using reflection:

public Dictionary Dyn2Dict(dynamic dynObj)
{
     var dictionary = new Dictionary();
     foreach (PropertyDescriptor propertyDescriptor in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(dynObj))
     {
        object obj = propertyDescriptor.GetValue(dynObj);
        dictionary.Add(propertyDescriptor.Name, obj);
     }
     return dictionary;
}
