Add .NET objects directly

[mgroves]

Maybe I'm missing something, but it would be helpful if I could add .NET objects directly to a data source instead of having to create a file, open a stream, and pass the stream. It would also be helpful to add more data to a dataset as needed (e.g. add a new piece of data to the dataset incrementally).

If you can coerce your .NET objects into a Dictionary<string, string> for each instance, then you can indeed upload your data without writing it to a file first.

For example:

client.DataSets.Create(DataSet.From("my-dataset-name", new DataSetDetail() 
{
    Data = new List<Dictionary<string, string>() 
    {
         ["field1"] = "value1",
         ["field2"] = "value2"
    }
}));

..etc.

So, if you have a list of .Net objects already it'd be pretty straightforward to translate those objects into a DataSetDetail object and you'd be all set.

Of course, extending the .Net client to accept objects directly is probably a good idea. Ripe for a PR! :-)
