Accessing Facebook C# SDK result Object using .NET 3.5 API?

Question

Consider the following in .NET 3.5 (using the Bin\Net35\Facebook*.dll assemblies):

using Facebook;

var app = new FacebookApp();
var result = app.Get("me");
// want to access result properties with no dynamic

... in the absence of the C# 4.0 dynamic keyword this provides only generic object members.
How best should I access the facebook properties of this result object?

Are there helper or utility methods or stronger types in the facebook C# SDK, or should I use standard .NET reflection techniques?

Answer 1

This code sample shows 3.5 usage, without needing the C# dynamic keyword:

// Using IDictionary<string, object> (.Net 3.5)
var client = new FacebookClient();
var me = (IDictionary<string,object>)client.Get("me");
string firstName = (string)me["first_name"];
string lastName = (string)me["last_name"];
string email = (string)me["email"];

Answer 2

var accesstoken = Session["AccessToken"].ToString();
var client = new FacebookClient(accesstoken);
dynamic result = client.Get("me", new { fields = "name,id,email" });
Details details = new Details();
details.Id = result.id;
details.Name = result.name;
details.Email = result.email;

Answer 3

You can also create a facade object around the IDictionary, as explained here.
