How can I use collection initializer syntax with ExpandoObject?

Question

I\'ve noticed that the new ExpandoObject implements IDictionary which has the requisite IEnumerable

Answer 1

The opensource framework Dynamitey has an alternative syntax for building ExpandoObject instances inline.

    dynamic obj = Builder.New(
        foo:"hello",
        bar: 42 ,
        baz: new object()
    );

    int value = obj.bar;

It also has a dictionary based dynamic prototype object Dynamitey.DynamicObjects.Dictionary such that

    dynamic obj = new Dynamitey.DynamicObjects.Dictionary()
    {
        { "foo", "hello" },
        { "bar", 42 },
        { "baz", new object() }
    };

    int value = obj.bar;

works too.
