Hi,

I am using the .NET SDK and am trying to retrieve the collaborations for a folder. How can I get the Name and Login of each collaborator?

I am running the following code:

BoxClient client = await GetBoxClient();
BoxCollection<BoxCollaboration> collaborators = await client.FoldersManager.GetCollaborationsAsync(folderId);

Iterating through the collaborators.Entries, there is an AccessibleBy property. In debug mode, I can see the Name and Login, however I cannot access it directly in my code.

Has anyone had this issue, and if so, how do I fix it?

Thanks.

Hi

The object you get in the entries will be a 'BoxEntity' as it could be either a user or a group. It has a 'Type' property you can check and the cast accordingly.

Something like this
```
collaborators.Entries.ForEach(collaboration =>
{
   if(collaboration.AccessibleBy.Type.Equals("user")) {
      Console.WriteLine(((BoxUser)collaboration.AccessibleBy).Name + "::" + ((BoxUser)collaboration.AccessibleBy).Login);
   }
});
```
