object	dynamicEntity	the original object

Returns

Type	Description
dynamic	a dynamic object for easier coding

AsDynamic(params object[])

Convert one or many Entities and Dynamic entities into an IDynamicStack

Declaration

public dynamic AsDynamic(params object[] entities)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object[]	entities	one or more source object

Returns

Type	Description
dynamic	a dynamic object for easier coding

Declaration

public dynamic AsDynamic(string json, string fallback = null)

Parameters
