Question

How to iterate through a list of an anonymous type

Answer 1

+3 A:

Just loop over your list - the anonymous type is anonymous - but still a strict type! You can get intellisense and should be able to access the fields Country and CountryID with no problem at all:

foreach(var c in yourListOfCountries)
{
   string countryName = c.Country;
   int countryID = c.CountryID;
}

I thought that anonymous types handled from a different way.As I saw I could also use LINQ.Thanks marc_s.

No, there's nothing special about anonymous types - other than the fact *you* as a developer don't know their type name. But there **is** a full type definition behind them and you can use them just as absolutely normal types.
