How to access property of anonymous type in C#?

Answer 1

Recently, I had the same problem within .NET 3.5 (no dynamic available). Here is how I solved:

// pass anonymous object as argument
var args = new { Title = "Find", Type = typeof(FindCondition) };

using (frmFind f = new frmFind(args)) 
{
...
...
}

Adapted from somewhere on stackoverflow:

// Use a custom cast extension
public static T CastTo(this Object x, T targetType)
{
   return (T)x;
}

Now get back the object via cast:

public partial class frmFind: Form
{
    public frmFind(object arguments)
    {

        InitializeComponent();

        var args = arguments.CastTo(new { Title = "", Type = typeof(Nullable) });

        this.Text = args.Title;

        ...
    }
    ...
}
