As the other answers have stated, you really shouldn't do this. But, if you insist, then there's a nasty hack known as "cast by example" which will allow you to do it. The technique is mentioned in a couple of articles, here and here.
public void FuncB()
{
var example = new { Id = 0, Name = string.Empty };
var obj = CastByExample(FuncA(), example);
Console.WriteLine(obj.Name);
}
private object FuncA()
{
var a = from e in DB.Entities
where e.Id == 1
select new { Id = e.Id, Name = e.Name };
return a.FirstOrDefault();
}
private T CastByExample<T>(object target, T example)
{
return (T)target;
}
(I can't take the credit for this hack, although the author of one of those articles says that he doesn't want to be associated with it either. His name might be familiar.)
