If you try to set a value to the anonymous type in C# , you will receive an compiler error . The properties within the anonymous types are read-only properties.
Anonymous Types are read-only in C#
using System;
namespace AbundantCodeConsoleApp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var employee = new { FirstName = "Abundant", Last = "Code.com" };
employee.FirstName = "Lot of Code"; // This will show the compiler error
Console.WriteLine(employee.ToString());
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
