cast anonymous type to an interface?

Question

This doesn't seem to be possible? So what is the best work-around? Expando / dynamic?

public interface ICoOrd {
    int x { get; set; }
    int y { get; set; }
}      

...

ICoOrd a = new {x = 44, y = 55};

Answer 1

The best "workaround" is to create and use a normal, "named" type that implements the interface.

But if you insist that an anonymous type be used, consider using a dynamic interface proxy framework like ImpromptuInterface.

 var myInterface =  new { x = 44, y = 55 }.ActLike<ICoOrd>();
