Hi,

I guess below example might b helpful to u..

public static Dictionary DataSourceToDictionary(object dataSource, string valueMember, string displayMember)
{
IList list = dataSource as IList;
Dictionary listLookup = new Dictionary();
if (list != null && list.Count > 0)
{
PropertyInfo valueMemberInfo = dataSource.GetType().GetGenericArguments()[0].GetProperty(valueMember);
PropertyInfo displayMemberInfo = dataSource.GetType().GetGenericArguments()[0].GetProperty(displayMember);
foreach (object item in list)
{
listLookup.Add(valueMemberInfo.GetValue(item, null).ToString(), displayMemberInfo.GetValue(item, null).ToString());
}
}
return listLookup;
}
