Convert Dictionary to <Customer> List

Question

I have dictionary<String,Object>and I want to convert it to List<Customer> Is there a smart way to do this? Any examples? Thanks

EDITED

Sorry for the incorrect explanation. Given the following, why is my result 0? Please note that I am trying to imitate living situations, and the first key does not make sense and would like to exclude, so that only the clients that I should get. Why is this not working? Thanks for any suggestions.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        List<Customer> oldCustomerList = new List<Customer>
        {
            new Customer {Name = "Jo1", Surname = "Bloggs1"},
            new Customer {Name = "Jo2", Surname = "Bloggs2"},
            new Customer {Name = "Jo3", Surname = "Bloggs3"}
        };
        Dictionary<string,object>mydictionaryList=new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            {"SillyKey", "Silly Value"},
            {"CustomerKey", oldCustomerList}
        };
        List<Customer> newCustomerList = mydictionaryList.OfType<Customer>().ToList(); 

        newCustomerList.ForEach(i=>Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", i.Name, i.Surname));
        Console.Read();
    }
}

public class Customer
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Surname { get; set; }
}

Answer 1

There are certain ways to do this, but you didn’t say anything about what's in the client, or about the relationship between the string, the object, and the client.

, ( .NET 3.5 ):

var customers = dictionary.Select(pair => new Customer(pair.Key, pair.Value)
                          .ToList();

, , , :

var customers = dictionary.Keys.Select(x => new Customer(x))
                               .ToList();

, , Customer, :

var customers = dictionary.Values.Cast<Customer>().ToList();

, , Customer, , :

var customers = dictionary.Values.OfType<Customer>().ToList();

( List<T>, IEnumerable<T>, ToList .)

EDIT: , , :

List<Customer> customers = dictionary.Values.OfType<List<Customer>>()
                                            .First();

List<Customer> customers = dictionary.Values.OfType<List<Customer>>()
                                            .FirstOrDefault();

null, ; .
