**Below code output**: I am able to get json as below by this code

    {
    
      "ContainerId": "848dc1ca-04ae-457e-b6ac-0dee454816c4",
    
      "ContainerName": "Container1"
    
    }

**Needed Output**: But I want to insert value dynamically like below json in array that contains multiple container ID and Container Name
I have to make json like this

    {"Container":[{"ContainerId":"1","ContainerName":"Container1"}, 
                  {"ContainerId":"2","ContainerName":"Container2"}, 
                  {"ContainerId":"3","ContainerName":"Container3"}, 
                  {"ContainerId":"4","ContainerName":"Container4"}]}


This is the code which for reference, Please let me know how I can do this in C#

What I have tried:

var jsonDiaptchObject = JObject.Parse(stockItem.Payload); 
            var oldDispatchItem = await _stockItemService.GetStockItemFor(stockItem.Identifier); 
           foreach (var dispatchItem in packItemRequest.DispatchItems)
            {
                containerid = Guid.NewGuid();
                
                KeyValuePair<string, string>[] propertyDispatchs = new KeyValuePair<string, string>[]
                {
                    new KeyValuePair<string, string>("ContainerId", containerid.ToString()),
                    new KeyValuePair<string, string>("ContainerName", dispatchItem.Container.ToString())
                };
                string olddispatchValue = null;
               
                foreach (var propertyDispatch in propertyDispatchs)
                {
                    if (jsonDiaptchObject.ContainsKey(propertyDispatch.Key))
                    {
                        olddispatchValue = JObject.Parse(stockItem.Payload)[propertyDispatch.Key]?.ToString(); //have to get dispatch payload
                        
                        //jsonDiaptchObject.Add(propertyDispatch.Key.Insert(0, propertyDispatch.Value));
                         
                    }
                    jsonDiaptchObject.Add(propertyDispatch.Key, propertyDispatch.Value);

                    
                }
                            }
                        
            stockItem.Payload = jsonDiaptchObject.ToString();

So you want to change a JSON object properties from single values to use arrays?

I need something like this:

{"Container":[
{"ContainerId":"1","ContainerName":"Container1"},
{"ContainerId":"2","ContainerName":"Container2"},
{"ContainerId":"3","ContainerName":"Container3"},
{"ContainerId":"4","ContainerName":"Container4"}
]
}

I'm guessing this is what you looking for. The code is looking for an object to hold list of container.

I would suggest create couple of Objects

C#

public class Container
	{
		public string ContainerId { get; set; }
		public string ContainerName { get; set; }
	}

public class Dispatch
	{
		public Dispatch()
		{
			Container = new List<Container>();
		}
		public List<Container> Container { get; set; }
	}

below is an example on how to populate it

C#

//.... Your other code

//initialize the object
var Dispatch = new Dispatch();

foreach (var dispatchItem in packItemRequest.DispatchItems)
{
//.... Your other code
   var propertyDispatch = new Container();
   propertyDispatch.ContainerId = containerid.ToString();
   propertyDispatch.ContainerName = dispatchItem.Container.ToString()

   Dispatch.Container.Add(propertyDispatch);
//.... Your other code

}

Sample output (if implemented correctly :) ):

HTML

{
  "Container": [
    {
      "ContainerId": "123",
      "ContainerName": "gdfgfdgfd"
    },
    {
      "ContainerId": "222",
      "ContainerName": "jhgj,ljkljl"
    }
  ]
}
