I'm trying to convert a dynamic list into a list of class-model(Products). This is how my method looks like:
public List<Products> ConvertToProducts(List<dynamic> data)
{
var sendModel = new List<Products>();
//Mapping List<dynamic> to List<Products>
sendModel = data.Select(x =>
new Products
{
Name = data.GetType().GetProperty("Name").ToString(),
Price = data.GetType().GetProperty("Price").GetValue(data, null).ToString()
}).ToList();
}
I have tried these both ways to get the property values, but it gives me null errors saying these properties doesn't exist or they are null.
Name = data.GetType().GetProperty("Name").ToString(),
Price = data.GetType().GetProperty("Price").GetValue(data, null).ToString()
This is how my Model-class looks like:
public class Products
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Price { get; set; }
}
Can someone please let me know what I'm missing? thanks in advance.
You're currently trying to get properties from data
, which is your list - and you're ignoring x
, which is the item in the list. I suspect you want:
var sendModel = data
.Select(x => new Products { Name = x.Name, Price = x.Price })
.ToList();
You may want to call ToString()
on the results of the properties, but it's not clear what's in the original data.
