Get property value from C# dynamic object by string (reflection?)

Asked 2011-12-25T20:59:31.800

Imagine that I have a dynamic variable:

dynamic d = *something*

Now, I create properties for d which I have on the other hand from a string array:

string[] strarray = { 'property1','property2',..... }

I don't know the property names in advance.

How in code, once d is created and strarray is pulled from DB, can I get the values?

I want to get d.property1 , d.property2.

I see that the object has a _dictionary internal dictionary that contains the keys and the values, how do I retrieve them?

c# reflection .net-4.0

string json = w.JSON;

var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
serializer.RegisterConverters(new[] { new DynamicJsonConverter() });

DynamicJsonConverter.DynamicJsonObject obj = 
      (DynamicJsonConverter.DynamicJsonObject)serializer.Deserialize(json, typeof(object));

Now obj._Dictionary contains a dictionary. Perfect!

This code must be used in conjunction with Deserialize JSON into C# dynamic object? + make the _dictionary variable from "private readonly" to public in the code there
