ClearScript: How to output an object?

Here is the C# code:

string jsScript = "var x = {A: 10, B: 100}";
scriptEngine.Evaluate(jsScript);
var result = scriptEngine.Evaluate("x");

The result is an instance of WindowsScriptItem object, how can I get the values 10 and 100?

Solution

  • If you know the object's property names, you can do this:

    dynamic dynamicResult = result;
Console.WriteLine(dynamicResult.A);
Console.WriteLine(dynamicResult.B);

    If you don't know the property names, you can do this:

    dynamic dynamicResult = result;
foreach (var name in dynamicResult.GetDynamicMemberNames())
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", name, dynamicResult[name]);

    Obviously you'll need something more sophisticated if the object's property values can themselves be objects.
