How to convert from object to something more readable like IDictionary

I'm happy to see 4.0.2 has support for .net 3.5, however there are no samples to understand how to use it, without dynamic k开发者_如何学JAVAeyword.

For example I have

FacebookApp app = new FacebookApp(GetSettings());                

object result = app.Fql(string.Format("SELECT id,name,type FROM profile WHERE id={0}", strID));

What is the simplest way to convert result to Dictionary or something more useful ?

Found it, not as sexy as dynamic 4.0, but it works:

FacebookApp app = new FacebookApp(GetSettings());
var result = app.Fql(string.Format("SELECT id,name,type FROM profile WHERE id={0}", strID));
var dicResult = ((JsonArray)result)[0] as IDictionary<string, object>;

Hope it will help another 3.5 developer

a Dictionary is generaly a 2 item list.

Dictionary(TKey, TValue)

Under the circumstances from your sql you'll be getting back 3 fields in your result, and unless i'm missing something it should only be 1 result set.

a single object with 3 parameters should be sufficent.

Now if your returning multiple lines with only two fields... now thats a different story.
