This class contains extension methods for Dynamic objects

Remarks

X

Current version of C# does not allow extension methods on 'dynamic', hence these are static methods

DynamicExtensions

public static class DynamicExtensions

Methods

Merge dynamic objects into a one new dynamic object

The latter updating value takes precedence if both objects contains same property name

public static dynamic Merge(dynamic source, params object[] updates)

X

var a = new
{
    firstName = "world",
    age = 1
};
var b = new
{
    firstName = "hello",
    Age = 2
};
var c = new 
{
   Age = 10   
}

var d = DynamicExtensions.Merge(a, b, c);

// d contains 3 properties: firstName, age, Age
// d's property values are now: hello, 1, 10
// var dictionary = d as IDictionary<string, object>
// d can be cast to dictionary
// dictionary["Age"] will return 10
