Expando object - creating a dynamic class and reading the property types in a unit test

Simon_Whale

dynamic returnObject = new ExpandoObject() as IDictionary;

// Other code actions here

var EnterData = (IDictionary)returnObject

EnterData.Add("myColumn", typeof(int));

Now when I debug a test that I have created I can see the value type has been set to int. but I would like to add a test to this, purely for my own learning

var keypair = EnterData.FirstOrDefault(p=> p.Key == "myColumn");
var properties = keypair.GetType().GetGenericArguments();
var ValueType = properties[1];

which always returns a type object, is there a way to get the type that I have assigned to the keyvaluepair?

Maybe I'm doing or reading it wrong, but wouldn't that be

        string myValueType = keypair.Value.ToString();

That should return "System.Int32", and the first part of the pair is always a string.

Thanks Eddie, it worked.. Silly me, while looking my brain thought everything must complicated so I ignored all the easy stuff. :doh:
