Say I have this object:
dynamic foo = new ExpandoObject();
foo.bar = "fizz";
foo.bang = "buzz";
How would I remove foo.bang
for example?
I don't want to simply set the property's value to null--for my purposes I need to remove it altogether. Also, I realize that I could create a whole new ExpandoObject by drawing kv pairs from the first, but that would be pretty inefficient.
Cast the expando to IDictionary<string, object>
and call Remove
:
var dict = (IDictionary<string, object>)foo;
dict.Remove("bang");
You can treat the ExpandoObject
as an IDictionary<string, object>
instead, and then remove it that way:
IDictionary<string, object> map = foo;
map.Remove("Jar");
MSDN Example:
dynamic employee = new ExpandoObject();
employee.Name = "John Smith";
((IDictionary<String, Object>)employee).Remove("Name");
You can cast it as an IDictionary<string,object>
, and then use the explicit Remove method.
IDictionary<string,object> temp = foo;
temp.Remove("bang");
