how to convert dynamic variable to specific class. dynamic variable has the same properties as my specific class.

    {
        [Column("ZAZNAM_ID")]
        public int? ZaznamId { get; set; }
        [Column("TEXT")]
        public string Text { get; set; }
        [Column("VALL")]
        public int Value { get; set; }
        public bool Disabled { get; set; } = false;
        public UpdateStatusEnum UpdateStatus { get; set; }

    }

void someMethod(dynamic dtos){
List<PracovnikHmotZodpovednostDropDownListItem> dto =
 (List<PracovnikHmotZodpovednostDropDownListItem>)dtos;

If all you know is that the properties have the same names, you're in duck typing territory, casting won't help you.

Good news is, it's trivial to do, just tedious:

var dtoList = new List<PracovnikHmotZodpovednostDropDownListItem>();
foreach(var dto in dtos)
    dtoList.Add(new()
    {
        ZaznamId = dto.ZaznamId,
        Text = dto.Text,
        // etc..
    });

"dynamic variable has the same properties as my specific class." -- don't tell me, talk to the guy who wrote that then. – Blindy Oct 19 '20 at 14:13
If I go to resultView of my dtos variable there are same keys as in my specific class – SonDy Oct 19 '20 at 14:15
So what's the problem then? – Blindy Oct 19 '20 at 14:19
