Iterating List<int> in a Anonymous Type

Question

I am using Ninject Interception extension to implement SQLLogging. I have a variable called 'param' and it is an Anonymous type as it showed in Watch window (See the picture below). When I do param.ToString() it returned

{Countries = {System.Collections.Generic.List< int >}


var param = invocation.Request.Arguments[0]; 

where invoation is of type Ninject.Extensions.Interception.IInvoation Interface.

What I need to get is a name and its items. So, for this one I want something like "Countries = 36, 124, 826, 840".

How do I iterate through the List to achieve that? Also, notice that the name Countries in this case is not known until run-time. It could be something like

{Ages = {System.Collections.Generic.List< int >}

or

{Subjects={System.Collections.Generic.List< string >}

Answer 1

You probably want to write your own visualizer for List<T>. It will be used for all lists, not only the ones of your anonymous types, but it may still be useful for you.

You could make use of reflection, looping properties, checking the type and if it is a list, iterate the list.
