Thanks for your reply LittleGuru. I read the bug report you filed, and I am upset by this change


I had to change my ORM to work with dynamic types... Usually i create an instance of an object (you can even specify a factory for it) and set the property values afterwards. For anonymous types I had to change that to call the constructor with the values...

Btw. does somebody know how to detect if a type is an anonymous type? I have seen that there is the CompilerGeneratedAttribute set on them and that they have a weird name, but is there any other thing I could do... There's no property on the type that returns true for an anonymous type? - I haven't found one so far



But the whole point of anonymous types is that they are anonymous, where their type is not important to know, and you just want a class that holds data groups together.

However, You can make a property when you construct it. And modify to work with your specific logic? There might be a way using reflection, but I am not sure about this though.

var cust1 = new { Name = "LittleGuru", Address = "Planet Earth" , 
			IsAnonymousType = true};

Edit: You could do this?
var cust1 = new { Name = "LittleGuru", Address = "Planet Earth" };
             if (cust1.GetType().ToString().Contains("AnonymousType"))
                 Console.WriteLine("Yes!!");
             else
                 Console.WriteLine("NO!!");
             Console.ReadLine();
