HI @Palaniyappan ,

Thanks for your quick response.
I am able to get the values of Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldLookupValue
However, I have a column with type Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldLookupValue
I believe it is of type “array of fieldLookupValue” I am not able to get the values from this type. I tried using CType(item[/ColumnName],Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldLookupValue).FieldLookupValue
but it is not working for FieldLookupValue

This is the sample dictionary format of FieldLookupValue,
“ColumnName”,
FieldLookupValue[1]
{
FieldLookupValue
{
LookupId=123,
LookupValue=“abc”,
TypeId="
{
*****asbahsd;
}",

and the sample dictionary format of FieldLookupValue,
“ColumnName”,
FieldLookupValue
{
LookupId=1234,
LookupValue=“xyz”,
TypeId="
{
#jwehjs;
}",

Thanks,
Tejashwini

Hi @carmen ,

Thanks for sharing the document.
I have an issue in converting Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client type values.
I believe i couldn’t find the exact solution for this issue there.

Thanks,

Hi @tejashwini.chilmakuri ,

I think the Conversion can be done as below :

If you have to take the First Value from the FieldLookupValue[], then you can access it using the index method

CType(item("ColumnName"),Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.FieldLookupValue())(0).LookupValue
