In this blog, I’m explaining about Anonymous in C#

What is Anonymous?

Anonymous types allow us to create a new type without defining them. This is a way of defining read-only properties into a single object without having to define type explicitly.

Restrictions of Anonymous Type class

• Anonymous class can contain only public fields.
• Anonymous class’s fields must all be initialized.
• Anonymous class member never is static.
• Anonymous cannot implement the interface.

Example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
delegatevoidNumberChanger(int n);
 
namespace AnonTypes
{
    classProgram
    {
        staticint num = 10;
        publicstaticvoid AddNum(int p)
        {
            num += p;
            Console.WriteLine("Name method:{0}", num);
        }
        staticvoid Main(string[] args)
        {
            var p = new { Name = "Avon", Price = "3000" };
            Console.WriteLine("Name={0}\n price={1}", p.Name, p.Price);
            //Anonymous methods 
            NumberChanger nc = delegate(int x)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Anonymous method:{0}", x);
            };
            nc(10);
           
        }
    }
}

Output:

Name=Avon

Price=3000

Anonymous method=10
