Declaration of Anonymous types List [duplicate]

Question

Is there any way to declare a list object of anonymous type. I mean

List<var> someVariable = new List<var>(); someVariable.Add(              new{Name="Krishna",                   Phones = new[] {"555-555-5555", "666-666-6666"}}                 ); 

This is because I need to create a collection at runtime.

Answer 1

How about dynamic?

List<dynamic> dynamicList = new List<dynamic>();   dynamicList.Add(new { Name = "Krishna",  Phones = new[] { "555-555-5555", "666-666-6666" } });  

Answer 2

It involves a bit of hackery but it can be done.

static List<T> CreateListFromSingle<T>(T value) {   var list = new List<T>();   list.Add(value);   return list; }  var list = CreateListFromSingle(    new{Name="Krishna",                   Phones = new[] {"555-555-5555", "666-666-6666"}}                 );
