c# - Accessing properties with a dot in their name

Question

I am trying to deserialize JSON. My root object has a single property "en.pickthall". I am using dynamic type for reading my JSON. I thought I could just do away with "." in the property since its a local JSON file but then there must be some way to access such a property

var result = App_Code.FileIOHelper.ReadFromDefaultFile("ms-appx:///Assets/en.pickthall.json");

dynamic stuff = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);

foreach(var x in stuff.(en.pickthall)) //Tried this intellisense didn't like it
{

}

Answer 1

You could create a root class to deserialize into and use JsonProperty:

public class Root
{
    [JsonProperty(PropertyName = "en.pickthall")]
    public object EnPickthall { get; set; }

    public Root() {}

    public Root(en_pickthall)
    {
        this.EnPickthall = en_pickthall;
    }
}

You can then call

Root stuff = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(result);

foreach(var x in stuff.EnPickthall)
{

}
