Anonymous type and tuple

Question

What is the difference between anonymous type and tuple?

Answer 1

Another point in favor of anonymous types would be that you can easily have more than 8 properties. While this is doable using tuples, it's not so pretty.

var tuple = Tuple.Create(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Tuple.Create(8, 9)); //and so on

or write your own tuple classes.

An interesting similarity to note is that both tuples and anonymous types give you immutability and equality comparability (both overrides Equals and GetHashCode) based on the properties by default.
