Dynaminism in .Net 4.0

few dayz ago came across THIS question.
the solution to this can easily be figured out by the new dynamic features introduced in .Net 4.0.
i have made a project to demonstrate this.
the main code in the project goes like this

public static dynamic[] GetDynamicObject(DataTable dt, Dictionary<stringstring> mapping)
        {
            List<dynamic> returnList = new List<dynamic>();
            foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
            {
                dynamic obj = new ExpandoObject();
                var objectDic = (IDictionary<stringobject>)obj;
                foreach (DataColumn column in dt.Columns)
                {
                    objectDic.Add(mapping!=null?mapping.ContainsKey(column.ColumnName) ? mapping[column.ColumnName] : column.ColumnName:column.ColumnName,row[column]);
                }
                returnList.Add(obj);
            }
            return returnList.ToArray();
        }
The static method here named "GetDynamicObject" simply takes a data table(which can be populated by the data in the database) and a dictionary of <string,object> as the mapping. 
then for each row in the DataTable the method makes a dynamic Object of type ExpandoObject which was introduced for the sole purpose of adding and consuming the propertiese at runtime. more info about expando object can be got from here(MSDN link).

The full project i made is available here(Sky Drive link).

Data manipulation in azure development storage by using web services – workaround

While developing the Azure project this was the biggest problem I came across and being just a newcomer in this area I could not solve it. So I figured a way around that worked perfectly well and then I used it to finally make a working project. Nearly all the solutions I came across in the different portals were about the same problem without the development storage anywhere in question but for the people who first need to make a working solution in the development storage using anything like the VS2010 there was no help nowhere. The problem was that while accessing data which was stored in a blob in cloud storage through a web service by a Silverlight client. It gives an impression to the storage of the cloud that this is being done by cross site scripting (this is what I got from all the different sources I read) and because this was not allowed the cloud project (webrole in my case) was blocking the request and was returning nothing in return. So this solution that I figured out i

ParameterLess construct

When I was creating my first cloud app that’s used Microsoft Azure for storage and computation purposes I came across a strange problem which wasn’t related to the Azure itself but was more related to the c# and the .net framework. When I was writing the code I made a Class which had no parameter less construct. Objects of this class were then used in the program. Because this class was derived from Ienumerator I could actually user Foreach() on the objects of this class but to my surprise the code shown below was showing error at the highlighted line. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient; using Microsoft.WindowsAzure; namespace WebRole1 { public class mspDataServiceContext : TableServiceContext { public mspDataServiceContext(string baseAddress, StorageCredentials credentials) : base(baseAddress, credentials) { } static int c; public IQueryable<msp> msps { get { retur
