Question by Bonywa · Apr 04, 2016 at 07:41 AM · c#objectjsondictionarycasting

Getting data out of Dictionary

So I am checking out the Gamedonia back end services and running into issues with Dictionary. I have never used data like t$$anonymous$$s before, but the Gamedonia API queries return an Ilist of Dictionary items. Here is the JSON structure I am retrieving.

 {
     "name":"ItemName",
     "number":2,
     "position": [10,-4]
 }

So using a a key will return one of these values as an object despite their database types being String, Integer, and Array. I am able to cast the single value objects it seems. I am having trouble with using the arrays though. I just cannot seem to be able to get the integers out of the array. Here is my retrieval code.

 GamedoniaData.Search("buildings", "{\"LocationName\":\"TestCity_1\"}", delegate (bool searchSuccess, IList list){
     if (searchSuccess){
         Dictionary<string, object> building = (Dictionary<string, object>) list[0];
 
         int[] position = new int[2];
         position = (int[])building["Position"];
     }
 });

No matter what I try I cannot seem to cast the object as an int[]. It would be even better if I could just take the Dictionary and convert it to a class. Let me know if anybody has experience with t$$anonymous$$s kind of workflow. Thanks.
