How do I create an anonymous object in PowerShell?

Question

I want to create an object of arbitrary values, sort of like how I can do this in C#

var anon = new { Name = \"Ted\", Age = 10 };

Answer 1

Try this:

PS Z:\> $o = @{}
PS Z:\> $o.Name = "Ted"
PS Z:\> $o.Age = 10

Note: You can also include this object as the -Body of an Invoke-RestMethod and it'll serialize it with no extra work.

Update

Note the comments below. This creates a hashtable.
