Is it possible to use a c# object initializer with a factory method?

Question

I have a class with a static factory method on it. I want to call the factory to retrieve an instance of the class, and then do additional initialization, preferablly via c#

Answer 1

+1 on "No".

Here's an alternative to the anonymous object way:

var instance = MyClass.FactoryCreate(
    SomeProperty => "Some value",
    OtherProperty => "Other value");

In this case FactoryCreate() would be something like:

public static MyClass FactoryCreate(params Func[] initializers)
{
    var result = new MyClass();
    foreach (var init in initializers) 
    {
        var name = init.Method.GetParameters()[0].Name;
        var value = init(null);
        typeof(MyClass)
            .GetProperty(name, BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.IgnoreCase)
            .SetValue(result, value, null);
    }
    return result;
}
