Question

I’m using an API that returns a key-value collection as a Dictionary<string, string>. I need to convert that to a Dictionary<string, object>. I have a sense that there should be a way to do this conversion/mapping without “manually” looping through each key-value pair, but Googling or the C# object reference didn’t immediately yield a solution.

Answer 1

Try the following

var newMap = oldMap.ToDictionary(pair => pair.Key, pair=>(object)pair.Value);
