Passing arguments like in Asp.net MVC

Question

In mvc, you can pass arguments like so

  new { A = B, C= "D", E ="F", ... }

I'd like to pass arguments like so to my own procedures, looking for links to any samples/tutorial for the same

thanks

I don't understand the downvotes for this question. The author is clearly an inexperienced C# programmer, but the question is valid and makes sense! — kubal5003, Apr 15 '12 at 15:47

You should look into anonymous types and reflection in C#.

In short:

Your method will accept an object
You use reflection to see get at the properties of the passed object.

If you're not using ASP.NET MVC then you'll need to use reflection in your method as stated in an answer above, but if you're writing an ASP.NET MVC extension method you can use HtmlHelper method called AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes which creates RouteValueDictionary from anonymous object or use RouteValueDictionary constructor that takes anonymous object to initialize its values.
