Hi<br />
<br />
Its not the whole object I want to parse out rather just the resource data item.<br />
<br />
My initial attempt was to cast the resource dataitem as an IDictonary and use LINQ to parse that out, then wondered whether there was a more efficient way,<br />
<br />

It would be better if you give more information about the type of &quot;resources&quot; and how you access it. And more about requirements. However if it can be casted into IDictionary or Dictionary the way you mentioned above seems to be a right way I believe. <br />
<br />
May be use something like <br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41745395-1"><span>String names = string.Join(&quot;, &quot;, myDict.Select(x =&gt; x.Key + &quot;-&quot; + x.Value));</span>
</code></pre>
or<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41745395-2"><span>string s = string.Join(&quot;;&quot;, myDict.Select(x =&gt; x.Key + &quot;=&quot; + x.Value).ToArray());</span>
</code></pre>
or simply<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-41745395-3"><span>myDict.Select(x =&gt; x.Key + &quot;=&quot; + x.Value).ToArray();</span>
</code></pre>
</div>

Thanks, How do I get this into a Dictionary. I have tried several ways and this one runs OK but always returns null.<br />
<br />
var resourceList = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.Dat<wbr />aItem, &quot;Resources&quot;) as System.Collections.Generic<wbr />.Dictionar<wbr />y&lt;string, string&gt;;<br />
<br />
The shape of the data can be seen in the image in the OP/<br />
<br />

<div>
What is the type of the .Resources field? I thought it was IDictionary?...
</div>


<div>
It's a name value pair, as a child of the main location object. It is ienumerable. If I use intelligence it just says object with no specific type. <br />
<br />
Sorry to be vague, all I can do is point you to the image I posted on the OP that shows the main object and resources as a child. <br />
<br />
Thanks for your help, Andy

<div>
Thanks for sticking with me.<br />
<br />
anarki_jimbel I had to modify your sample to get to the data, but the construct for the Dictionary was what I needed:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;Dictionary&lt;int, string&gt; resourceList = DataBinder.Eval(e.Item.Dat<wbr />aItem, &quot;Resources&quot;) as Dictionary&lt;int, string&gt;; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
And the LINQ worked too to create the string.<br />
<br />
Thank you

Hi<br />
<br />
I have an object to work with that has a data field of 'resources' that are presented as a set of name / value pairs. The attached image shows what these look like.<br />
<br />
How would I get this data into a comma separated list for display?<br />

Convert object data to CSV for display.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
