boxing on dynamic data type in c#?

Type checking for an Object takes place at compile time where as type checking for dynamic data type takes place at run time then how can we box a dynamic value into Object?

dynamic dynamic = "This is dynamic data type";
Object obj = dynamic;
Console.WriteLine(obj);

dynamic is already always an object - it is essentially implemented as object, with different rules on how invocation happens. So there's nothing to box between dynamic and object. Additionally, a string literal is an object, so: there's nothing to box there.

No boxing required here. You already have an object. The implicit type conversion from dynamic to object is a no-op.
