How to define anonymous types?

Post by HansjoergP »

To use Dapper you need anonymous types. How can you define these in X#? In C# the syntax is e.g. new {x = ‘test’}

Thanks

A look for "anonymous" into X# help provides:

The syntax for an anonymous class is :
VAR o := CLASS { Name := "test", Value := "something" }

Is that, what you need?

HansJoerg,
If you're filling an anonymous type from another object then you don't need to include the names

Code: Select all

CLASS {Customer.ID, Customer.Name, Customer.DateOfBirth}
This will use the names of the properties as name of the properties in the anonymous type.

The syntax in X# is close but not exact:

X#: CLASS {x := "test"}
C#: new {x = ‘test’}
