Convert returning object to Hashtable

Questions & Answers
1

I have a event(from a plugin) which returns an object parameter. When printing the object in console I get System.Collections.Hashtable. So I am guessing the object is a hashtable. How can I convert the object to a hashtable, hence be able to obtain values from keys.

void myEvent(object obj) {

print("object: " + obj);

}

To convert an Object into a Hashtable, use the as keyword,

void myEvent (object obj){
  var hashtable = obj as Hashtable;
  // Do stuff with your Hashtable here
}

Note that if your object isn’t a Hashtable, your hashtable variable will be null, so it may be a good idea to include a null-check before you use it,

void myEvent (object obj){
  var hashtable = obj as Hashtable;
  if (hashtable == null){
    print("It wasn't a Hashtable");
    return;
  }
  // Do stuff with your Hashtable here
}
