Property Type Description

Public Methods

Method Description
Contains ( object>.KeyValuePair item, bool includeInstanceProperties = false ) : bool

Checks whether a property exists in the Property collection or as a property on the instance
Expando ( ) : System

This constructor just works off the internal dictionary and any public properties of this object. Note you can subclass Expando.
Expando ( object>.IDictionary dict ) : System

Create an Expando from a dictionary
Expando ( object instance ) : System

Allows passing in an existing instance variable to 'extend'.

You can pass in null here if you don't want to check native properties and only check the Dictionary!

GetDynamicMemberNames ( ) : IEnumerable

Return both instance and dynamic names. Important to return both so JSON serialization with Json.NET works.
GetProperties ( bool includeInstanceProperties = false ) : object>>.IEnumerable

Returns and the properties of
TryGetMember ( GetMemberBinder binder, object &result ) : bool

Try to retrieve a member by name first from instance properties followed by the collection entries.
TryInvokeMember ( InvokeMemberBinder binder, object args, object &result ) : bool

Dynamic invocation method. Currently allows only for Reflection based operation (no ability to add methods dynamically).
TrySetMember ( SetMemberBinder binder, object value ) : bool

Property setter implementation tries to retrieve value from instance first then into this object
this ( string key ) : object

Convenience method that provides a string Indexer to the Properties collection AND the strongly typed properties of the object by name. // dynamic exp["Address"] = "112 nowhere lane"; // strong var name = exp["StronglyTypedProperty"] as string;

The getter checks the Properties dictionary first then looks in PropertyInfo for properties. The setter checks the instance properties before checking the Properties dictionary.
