I'm collecting scoreboard stats into a datafile using nested data (see below) so I can throw it into our leaderboard database on an external website, I'll admit my C# is a little rusty, but is there a way I can convert the whole DynamicConfigFile into a string to be used as part of the POST web request? do I have to loop through the datafile to recreate?

Thanks For Reading.

Datafile:
{
"steamID": {
"heavyscientist": 1,
"scientist": 4
}
}

just grabbed the file via http://ftp.. probably easier on the server if the website is doing all of the pull and processing.

DynamicConfigFile.ReadObject<string>()

legend, thanks..
