c# - Accessing dynamic variable value in c#.net

Question

Can you please tell, how can I access value of my dynamic variable in C#.NET.

dynamic response = api.createSession(order.Tables[0].Rows[i]["sessionid"].ToString(),
                                                            "description=" + description +
                                                            "&organization=" + organization +
                                                            "&allowUpload=" + allowUpload +
                                                            "&singleSignOnOnly=" + singleSignOnOnly +
                                                            "&maxUserCount=" + maxUserCount);

In above, "response" is dynamic variable and need to access its value. I have tried following..

string[] myStringArray = new string[50];
myStringArray[0] = response[2]["Value"];

Thanks in advance..

What exactly do you mean by "its value" here? Basically, the "value" of a dynamic variable/field is simply a reference to an object. What is interesting is: what does that object provide ? Well, we can't tell you that, because we don't know what api.createSession returns. But it it notionally exposed, say, an Id and a Name - then you would just use:

int id = response.Id;
string name = response.Name;

Of course, it is also possible that the object referenced by response exposes methods, for example:

response.Foo();

We can't tell you. And since it is dynamic, the compiler can't tell you. The only thing that can tell you is the documentation of api.createSession.
