Create anonymous type with mutable fields?

Question

I can create an anonymous class easily using the below. However I can't write to it. Is there a way I can write to some sort of unnamed class?

var test = new { a = 5, b = "sz" };
test.a++;

this looks like it's been answered (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9043848/non-read-only-alternative-to-anonymous-types). — John, Feb 10 '13 at 02:26

This is not possible with anonymous types because the properties of an anonymous class are read-only. As to why, you can read here:

I don't see the relevance of reminding the poster that their own assertion is correct. This doesn't seem like an answer to me. – spender Feb 10 '13 at 02:41
@spender "tldr; not possible", which answers the question. (Now, this entire question is a duplicate, but that's another issue ..) – Feb 10 '13 at 02:43
