Convert Dictionary<string, object> To Anonymous Object?

If you really want to convert the dictionary to an object that has the items of the dictionary as properties, you can use ExpandoObject:

var dict = new Dictionary<string, object> { { "Property", "foo" } };
var eo = new ExpandoObject();
var eoColl = (ICollection<KeyValuePair<string, object>>)eo;

foreach (var kvp in dict)
{
    eoColl.Add(kvp);
}

dynamic eoDynamic = eo;

string value = eoDynamic.Property;

I tried to do this in one statement with a reduce function (Aggregate in Linq). The code below does the same as the accepted answer:

var dict = new Dictionary<string, object> { { "Property", "foo" } };
dynamic eo = dict.Aggregate(new ExpandoObject() as IDictionary<string, Object>,
                            (a, p) => { a.Add(p.Key, p.Value); return a; });
string value = eo.Property;

If you have a class you want to covert the dictionary too, you can use the following to convert a dictionary to an object of that class:

Example class:

public class Properties1
{
    public string Property { get; set; }
}

The solution:

JavaScriptSerializer serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
Dictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object> { { "Property", "foo" } };
Properties1 properties = serializer.ConvertToType<Properties1>(dict);
string value = properties.Property;

You could also use a method like this to build the object from the dictionary, obviously this also requires you to have a class.

private static T DictionaryToObject<T>(IDictionary<string, object> dict) where T : new()
{
    T t = new T();
    PropertyInfo[] properties = t.GetType().GetProperties();

    foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
    {
        if (!dict.Any(x => x.Key.Equals(property.Name, 
            StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase)))
            continue;
        KeyValuePair<string, object> item = dict.First(x => x.Key.Equals(property.Name,
            StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase));
        Type tPropertyType = t.GetType().GetProperty(property.Name).PropertyType;
        Type newT = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(tPropertyType) ?? tPropertyType;
        object newA = Convert.ChangeType(item.Value, newT);
        t.GetType().GetProperty(property.Name).SetValue(t, newA, null);
    }
    return t;
}

However if you do not have the class you can create a dynamic object from a dictionary like this:

private static dynamic DictionaryToObject(Dictionary<string, object> dict)
{
    IDictionary<string, object> eo = (IDictionary<string, object>)new ExpandoObject();
    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> kvp in dict)
    {
        eo.Add(kvp);
    }
    return eo;
}

You can use it like this:

Dictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object> {{ "Property", "foo" }};
dynamic properties = DictionaryToObject(dict);
string value = properties.Property;
