Read values from a Dynamic Object C#

Question

I'm trying to read values from System.Web.Helpers.DynamicJsonObject. I can see the values in the debugger but I can't figure out how to access them. I have tried this

item.GetType().GetProperty("batch_id").GetValue(item, null);

but when I try that I get this response in the debugger "item.GetType().GetProperty("batch_id")' is null"

I have attached a picture from my solution

Thank you, -Tesh

Answer 1

It is dynamic so you can just do:

string batchId = item.batch_id;

If for some reason you have the property name in a string, and don't know it at compile time, the indexing operator will work:

string value = item["batch_id"];

Answer 2

Try enumerating the values DynamicJsonObject.GetDynamicMemberNames Method. It returns an IEnumerable of string.

Answer 3

It doesn't work because they are fields, not properties. And, yeah, it is dynamic, so you can use just item.batch_id.
