Get properties of a Dynamic Type

Question

I would like to know how to get the properties of my dynamic type.

This is the function to get the List,

var result = _files.GetFileContent(reportId).Result;

As example I get an object returned like this :

When I open it, you can see the properties I have :

The Idea is that I never know the properties. They can change over time. So I want a list which is filled with all the properties. So I can dynamically use them.

How Can I get the properties from the first item (ChargesDelta_DIFF_5, ChargesEfile_RIGHT,ChargesGecep_LEFT, etc)?

Answer 1

You can use reflection to get the properties out and convert it to a dictionary:

dynamic v = new { A = "a" };

Dictionary<string, object> values = ((object)v)
                                     .GetType()
                                     .GetProperties()
                                     .ToDictionary(p => p.Name, p => p.GetValue(v));

Answer 2

If someone is still struggling with this (as I did), this might be useful.

Let's say data is the dynamic you want to list all properties from:

This worked for me

using System.ComponentModel;

...

dynamic data = new {
    value1 = 12,
    value2 = "asdasd",
    value3 = 98,
    value4 = "pgiwfj",
};

foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(data))
{
    Console.WriteLine("PROP: " + prop.Name);
}

...

Then it would output:

• PROP: value1
• PROP: value2
• PROP: value3
• PROP: value4
