#775 – Copying an Array of Anonymously-Typed Objects

You can create an implicitly-typed array that contains an array of anonymously-typed objects.

            var movies = new[] {
                new { Title = "North By Northwest", Year = 1959, Director = "Alfred Hitchcock" },
                new { Title = "Zelig", Year = 1983, Director = "Woody Allen" },
                new { Title = "King Kong", Year = 2005, Director = "Peter Jackson" }};

If you’d like to create a copy of this array, you can use the Clone method.  This will create a new array of the same type and copy all of the anonymously-typed elements to the new array.

            var copy = movies.Clone();
