Unable to use the add_file_member API (HTTP) with C#
I am trying to use this API but when inputting the parameters by creating anonymous properties, thanks to the "dot" in the ".tag" in "members", I cannot create that property as it will ask for an identifier in C#. Hence I am not able to create the request successfully. Please suggest an example for making an HTTP request on this API in C#. Thank you.

You do not need a 'parent_shared_folder_id' in order to share a folder. You can share a non-shared folder using /2/sharing/share_folder by specifying the 'path' of the folder you want to share:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-share_folder
When you get the successful result from /2/sharing/check_share_job_status, it will contain the new shared folder ID:
