Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[,]' to type 'System.Object[]'

I have a dll which gives me as an output an Object[,] 

 {Name = "Object[,]" FullName = "System.Object[,]"}

I am trying to convert it to Object[] to be able to read it properly, as it is a two columns object. I have tried to cast it Object[] values = (Object[])data;, but I obtained the error from the tittle: 

   Unable to cast object of type 'System.Object[,]' to type 'System.Object[]'.

Is there any easy way to perform this operation? I would like to make a dictionary out of it.

Thanks in advance

Rather than using it as an Object[] (which it isn't), use the System.Array API:

var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>(); // For example
Array array = (Array) data;
for (int i = 0; i < array.GetLength(0); i++)
{
    string key = (string) array.GetValue(i, 0);
    string value = (string) array.GetValue(i, 1);
    dictionary[key] = value;
}
