Question

I have the following loop over a dictionary type collection

foreach(KeyValuePair<Vector2, Object> entry in v_map.map_set)
{

}

I want to access the object properties, but the expected syntax doesn’t work. E.G:

foreach(KeyValuePair<Vector2, Object> entry in v_map.map_set)
            {
                Object ob = entry.Value;
                ob.property;
            }

Fails because C# can’t find the property wanted.
So, how do I access the desired properties?

solution:

  foreach(KeyValuePair<Vector2, Object> entry in v_map.map_set)
            {
                if (entry.Value is warehouse)
                {
                    warehouse ob = (warehouse)entry.Value;

                }
            }

Answer 1

If you know the type of the objects that are in the KeyValuePair, you can cast it to that type, and you will be able to find the properties you need.

And if you have several different objects stored, you can check which type it is by using is.
Like so:

if(entry.Value is Foo)
{
   Foo lFoo = (Foo)entry.Value;
}
else if(entry.Value is Bar)
{
   Bar lBar = (Bar)entry.Value;
}
