I use Json.net to deserialize a json string to a dynamic object:
var initialJSON = "{ 'artillery': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'diplomacy': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'seccheck': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'march': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'production': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'water': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'technology': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'spy': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'weapon': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'raid': { 'status': '0', 'code': '' }, 'prod_artillery': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_bio': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_nuclear': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_hacking': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_covops': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_tank': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_infantry': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_fighter': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_ship': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_submarine': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'prod_general': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'weapon_bio': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'weapon_nuclear': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'weapon_covops': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' }, 'weapon_hacking': { 'status': '1', 'code': '' } }";
var actionData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(initialJSON);
I'm working on a team foundation server project with a colleague. After the deserialization I can access the properties like this:
actionData.production.status = "1";
But when my colleague runs the same line of code, he gets a RuntimeBinderException:
'actionData.production' threw an exception of type 'Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException' dynamic
'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject' does not contain a definition for 'production'
While comparing we noticed that he doesn't get the "Dynamic View" on actionData:
My View:
His View:
How is that even possible?
We compared our Debugger/Exception Settings, they were 100% equal. Same VS Version, same project version by TFS etc.
I'm absolutely aware that I could avoid dynamic and use real objects.
But I'm extremely curious where this difference could come from.
