向 ExpandoObject 动态添加属性

Question

I would like to dynamically add properties to a ExpandoObject at runtime. So for example to add a string property call NewProp I would like to write something like

var x = new ExpandoObject();
x.AddProperty("NewProp", System.String);

Is this easily possible?

Answer 1

dynamic x = new ExpandoObject();
x.NewProp = string.Empty;

Alternatively:

var x = new ExpandoObject() as IDictionary<string, Object>;
x.Add("NewProp", string.Empty);

Answer 2

As explained here by Filip - http://www.filipekberg.se/2011/10/02/adding-properties-and-methods-to-an-expandoobject-dynamicly/

You can add a method too at runtime.

x.Add("Shout", new Action(() => { Console.WriteLine("Hellooo!!!"); }));
x.Shout();

Here is a sample helper class which converts an Object and returns an Expando with all public properties of the given object.

    public static class dynamicHelper
        {
            public static ExpandoObject convertToExpando(object obj)
            {
                //Get Properties Using Reflections
                BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance;
                PropertyInfo[] properties = obj.GetType().GetProperties(flags);

                //Add Them to a new Expando
                ExpandoObject expando = new ExpandoObject();
                foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
                {
                    AddProperty(expando, property.Name, property.GetValue(obj));
                }

                return expando;
            }

            public static void AddProperty(ExpandoObject expando, string propertyName, object propertyValue)
            {
                //Take use of the IDictionary implementation
                var expandoDict = expando as IDictionary;
                if (expandoDict.ContainsKey(propertyName))
                    expandoDict[propertyName] = propertyValue;
                else
                    expandoDict.Add(propertyName, propertyValue);
            }
        }

Usage:

//Create Dynamic Object
dynamic expandoObj= dynamicHelper.convertToExpando(myObject);

//Add Custom Properties
dynamicHelper.AddProperty(expandoObj, "dynamicKey", "Some Value");

This is the best solution I've found. But be careful with that. Use exception handling because it might not work on all of the cases

public static dynamic ToDynamic(this object obj)
{
    return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(obj));
}

//another nice extension method you might want to use

    public static T JsonClone<T>(this T source)
    {
        if (!typeof(T).IsSerializable)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("The type must be serializable.", nameof(source));
        }

        var serialized = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(source);
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(serialized);
    }

Answer 5

i think this add new property in desired type without having to set a primitive value, like when property defined in class definition

var x = new ExpandoObject();
x.NewProp = default(string)
