C# Convert ot Cast ExpandoObject to Specific Class Object

Question

I have a problem to cast or convert ExpandoObject to Object that is specific class in C# project.

Class of Object:

public class PlayerData {
   public string Id {get; set;}
   public string Phone { get; set; }
   public Money Money { get; set; }
}

public class Money {
   public int Cash { get; set; }
   public int Bank { get; set; }
}

When in server sent some data (of type PlayerData) to client side, client see that data in class ExpandoObject. I can use this data as well (like Data.Id, Data.Phone etc.).

In my problem, I need to cast or convert ExpandoObject that I got (It have type PlayerData before) to PlayerData in client side.

Line that cast type :

PlayerData MyData = (PlayerData)Data;

And it return error :

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

How can I fixed it and cast or convert it correctly?

Note // When I print "Data.GetType()" it return "System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject"

You can also use AutoMapper.

public class Foo {
    public int Bar { get; set; }
    public int Baz { get; set; }
    public Foo InnerFoo { get; set; }
}
dynamic foo = new MyDynamicObject();
foo.Bar = 5;
foo.Baz = 6;

var configuration = new MapperConfiguration(cfg => {});
var mapper = config.CreateMapper();

var result = mapper.Map<Foo>(foo);
result.Bar.ShouldEqual(5);
result.Baz.ShouldEqual(6);

dynamic foo2 = mapper.Map<MyDynamicObject>(result);
foo2.Bar.ShouldEqual(5);
foo2.Baz.ShouldEqual(6);
