Posted by As you may know, Microsoft is getting into the open source community with the ASP.NET and DNX with the mono project.
The .NET Execution Environment (DNX) is a software development kit which allows you to run .NET applications on Windows, Mac, and Linux using different frameworks such as .NET framework, .NET Core, and Mono. However, everything are not roses. There are many incomplete libraries, incompatibilities, lack of documentation, and most of the examples such as doing SQL or SOAP do not work depending on which the library targets you are planning to code for. Therefore, I decided to test the basics on all the library targets. I am starting with DNX451.
The dynamic keyword seems to be working fine in DNX451 with C#. Below is a code example for those who wish to play with it.
Program.cs
using System;
namespace ConsoleApp1 {
public class Program {
public void Main(string[] args){
Console.WriteLine("Main()");
displayWhichDnxIsCompilingOn();
new DynamicKeywordExample.DynamicKeywordExample();
}
private void displayWhichDnxIsCompilingOn(){
#if DNX451
Console.WriteLine("Compiled on DNX451: .NET Framework");
#endif
#if DNXCORE50
Console.WriteLine("Compiled on DNXCORE50: .NET Core 5");
#endif
}
}
}

DynamicKeywordExample.csusing System;
namespace DynamicKeywordExample {
public class DynamicKeywordExample {
public DynamicKeywordExample(){
Console.WriteLine("\nDynamicKeywordExample");
var test = "This is a string";
//test = 5; // This will fail because cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'string'
Console.WriteLine("Value: {0}", test);
// To be able to change to any time you want use Dynamic DynamicKeywordExample
dynamic test2 = "This is another string";
Console.WriteLine("Value: {0}", test2);
test2 = 10;
Console.WriteLine("Value: {0}", test2);
// Using Dynamic is bad for performance
}
}
}
