RestSharp，将IRestRequest内容作为可用内容返回

Question

This is a bit of a noobie question in the RestSharp department (and the C# department for that matter), so if that rubs you the wrong way, please take no offence.

I've recently started using RestSharp in my C# application, and I've gotten it to return the content I'd like through an IRestRequest.

The problem is that it returns this content can only be obtained as char .

That might be a little vague, so here's my code:

IRestRequest applicationReq = new RestRequest("somewhere/something", Method.GET);
IRestResponse applicationResp = client.Execute(applicationReq);

I want to actually use the applicationResp.Content that is returned, but it seems to return this result as char .

Is there any way I can convert this to something more usable? Like, for example a Dictionary ?

Thus far, the only way I've even found to 'extract' this data from the applicationResp.Content is by dumping it to a list, as follows:

List<char> ar = new List<char>();
ar = applicationResp.Content.ToList();

All that gives me though is along list of char s.

Can anyone recommend me a neat way of putting the content into a Dictionary ?

If you know the return type of your REST call is a Dictionary<TKey, TValue> , you can use the generic version which accepts a type T of the desired return type:

IRestRequest applicationReq = new RestRequest("somewhere/something", Method.GET);
IRestResponse applicationResp = client.Execute<Dictionary<string, string>>(applicationReq);

Dictionary<string, string> returnedData = applicationResp.Data;
