Dynamitey is an open source  net std library  that let s you call it like the dynamic keyword  but using the a string for the property name rather than the compiler doing it for you  and it ends up being equal to  reflection speedwise  which is not nearly as fast as using the dynamic keyword  but this is due to the extra overhead of caching dynamically  where the compiler caches statically    Dynamic InvokeGet d  value2

The easiest method for obtaining both a setter and a getter for a property which works for any type including dynamic and ExpandoObject is to use FastMember which also happens to be the fastest method around  it uses Emit    You can either get a TypeAccessor based on a given type or an ObjectAccessor based of an instance of a given type   Example   var staticData   new Test   Id   1  Name    France     var objAccessor   ObjectAccessor Create staticData   objAccessor  Id   Should   Be 1   objAccessor  Name   Should   Be  France     var anonymous   new   Id   2  Name    Hilton     objAccessor   ObjectAccessor Create anonymous   objAccessor  Id   Should   Be 2   objAccessor  Name   Should   Be  Hilton     dynamic expando   new ExpandoObject    expando Id   3  expando Name    Monica   objAccessor   ObjectAccessor Create expando   objAccessor  Id   Should   Be 3   objAccessor  Name   Should   Be  Monica     var typeAccessor   TypeAccessor Create staticData GetType     typeAccessor staticData   Id   Should   Be 1   typeAccessor staticData   Name   Should   Be  France     typeAccessor   TypeAccessor Create anonymous GetType     typeAccessor anonymous   Id   Should   Be 2   typeAccessor anonymous   Name   Should   Be  Hilton     typeAccessor   TypeAccessor Create expando GetType       int typeAccessor expando   Id    Should   Be 3     string typeAccessor expando   Name    Should   Be  Monica

The GetProperty GetValue does not work for Json data  it always generate a null exception  however  you may try this approach   Serialize your object using JsonConvert   var z   Newtonsoft Json JsonConvert DeserializeObject Convert ToString request      Then access it directly casting it back to string   var pn    string z  DynamicFieldName      It may work straight applying the Convert ToString request   DynamicFieldName    however I haven t tested

Similar to the accepted answer  you can also try GetField instead of GetProperty   d GetType   GetField  value2   GetValue d    Depending on how the actual Type was implemented  this may work when GetProperty   doesn t and can even be faster

Once you have your PropertyInfo  from GetProperty   you need to call GetValue and pass in the instance that you want to get the value from  In your case   d GetType   GetProperty  value2   GetValue d  null

Much of the time when you ask for a dynamic object  you get an ExpandoObject  not in the question s anonymous-but-statically-typed example above  but you mention JavaScript and my chosen JSON parser JsonFx  for one  generates ExpandoObjects      If your dynamic is in fact an ExpandoObject  you can avoid reflection by casting it to IDictionary  as described at http   msdn microsoft com en-gb library system dynamic expandoobject aspx   Once you ve cast to IDictionary  you have access to useful methods like  Item and  ContainsKey
