Avoid repetitive use of ternary operation when we work with IDictionary<string, object>

DictionaryExtensions

public static T GetValue<T>(this IDictionary<string, object> dictionary, string key)
{
  if (!dictionary.ContainsKey(key))
  {
    return default(T);
  }
    
  object data = dictionary[key];
    
  return data != null && data.GetType() == typeof (T) ? (T) data : default(T);
} 

var path = dictionary.GetValue<string>("Path")

 // Si quieres protegerte de posibles Casts inválidos
    public static T GetValue<T>(this IDictionary<string, object> dictionary, string key)
    {
       if (!dictionary.ContainsKey(key))
    {
        return default(T);
    }
    object data = dictionary[key];
    return data != null && data.GetType() == typeof (T) ? (T) data : default(T);
   }
