Pass a C# dynamic object to a method that takes an IDictionary

Right now, I'm doing this

var data = new JobDataMap(new Dictionary<string,string> { {"obj", "stringify"} });

But I want to do this:

dynamic d = new { obj = "stringify" };
var data = new JobDataMap(d);

Is there some secret syntactical sugar that would allow me to do this?

There's no magical way of doing this. There's no way the compiler can know that your Dynamic object really is a Dictionary at compile time.

That being said, you could create an extension method that converts it to a Dictionary so that you could do something like this:

dynamic d = new { obj = "stringify" };
var data = new JobDataMap(d.ToDictionary());

This blogpost offers an example: http://blog.andreloker.de/post/2008/05/03/Anonymous-type-to-dictionary-using-DynamicMethod.aspx
