so, the safe method would be “creating a class that holds your data” :)

class GirlsController {

public static var GetGirls(){
XDocument xmlSource = XDocument.Load(“Girls.xml”);

var girls = from g in xmlSource.Descendants(“Girl”)
select new
{
Name = g.Element(“Name”).Value,
DateOfBirth = g.Element(“DateOfBirth”).Value
};

return girls;
}
}
class GirlsView{
…
var girls = GirlsController.GetGirls

foreach (var girl in girls) {
Console.WriteLine(“Name: {0}, Date Of Birth: {1}”,
girl.Name,
girl.DateOfBirth);
}
}

it is to my knowledge not possible to return anonymous types, not even in 3.5, or am I missing something? Atm when doing this with LINQ, I have to create a class that holds my data and return that instead :(
