Can I create an anonymous type variable and later on add more Properties?
E.g.
var x = new { Name = "Ahmed" }; and want to add Age to it?
how can I do this?
Another question: i saw on some blogs a type AnonymousType what is the name space for this class? here is am example http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/AnonymousTypesInCSharp.aspx
First question - you can't.
Second question - AnonymousType is the type the author of that article created. You have to download the source for his project to use that type.
No, you cant.
2nd question: No such thing, it might refer to compiler generated class which you have no access to.
No, and It would not be efficient for Your application. Are You convinced that You don't want to introduce some kind of class?
using System;
class Generic{
public void doSomething(){}
private string name;
private string _othreFeature;
}
You could extend it with new features, whenever You want.
This is a perfectly logical question... I work with Java and C# both and this is a big pet peeve of mine... Matter of fact almost every language out there has some sort of Anonymous type lol... PHP, JavaScript, C#, vb (all), and the list goes on..
It's a very useful feature to have when you're basically throwing data into an object and you don't need a class for it created.
Matter of fact this is exactly what LINQ utilizes..
var someObject (can be interable/Enumerable) =
from p in products
where p.id == 123
select new { productid };
blah blah you get the idea.. It's very useful... :-)
Cheers!
