Is there any way to restrict a generic type parameter to an anonymous type?

Question

Is there any way to restrict a generic type parameter to an anonymous type in C# 4.0? Or is where T: class the closest I will come ?

No, there are no such constraints in C#. You could add an execution-time check to validate that the type has the characteristics of an anonymous type though.
