Anonymous types in C# are a way to create simple, lightweight objects without explicitly defining a class. They allow you to create objects on the fly, encapsulating a set of properties, without the need to define a separate class or struct.
Here are the key points about anonymous types in C#:
Syntax
To create an anonymous type, you use the new keyword followed by curly braces {} and specify the properties inside. For example:
csharpCopy
var person = new { Name = "John Doe", Age = 30 };
In this example, person is an anonymous type with two properties: Name and Age.
Inferred Property Names
The property names of an anonymous type are inferred from the left-hand side of the assignment. In the previous example, Name and Age are the property names.
Immutability
Anonymous types are immutable, meaning you cannot change the values of their properties after creation.
Accessing Properties
You can access the properties of an anonymous type using dot notation, just like regular objects. For example:
