Reflect on an ExpandoObject
- by Water Cooler v2
I have written a nifty function that will accept a system.object, reflect on its properties and serialize the object into a JSON string. It looks like this:
public class JSONSerializer
{
public string Serialize(object obj)
Now, I want to be able to do this to serialize a dynamic/ExpandoObject, but because my serializer uses reflection, it isn't able to do it. What's the workaround?
public class Test
{
public dynamic MakeDynamicCat()
{
dynamic newCat = new ExpandoObject();
newCat.Name = "Polly";
newCat.Pedigree = new ExpandoObject();
newCat.Pedigree.Breed = "Whatever";
return newCat;
}
public void SerializeCat()
{
new JSONSerializer().Serialize(MakeDynamicCat());
}
}
