C# 3.0 Basic - Anonymous type

"An anonymous object initializer declares an anonymous type and returns an instance of that type."

Cool, another thing in .NET allows anonymous. It's quite handy to have anonymous method and type support.

var meeting = new {Time = 3.Hours().Ago(), Location = "Ellerslie"};

The variable meeting has a type, which, technically not really anonymous. An ugly system name is assigned to this type and which I honestly cannot remember.

If there is another anonymous type with the same initializer, C# 3.0 is smart enough to recognise them as the same type. e.g.

var meeting2 = new {Time = 3.Hours().FromNow(), Location = "CBD"}; meeting = meeting2;

I think this is really cool although I don't have in mind where can I use this yet, haha.
