Can I change a value of an existing anonymous type

I am creating an anonymous object like so:

var myObj = new { ownerId = string.Empty, dateFrom = dateFrom, dateTo = dateTo };

And then, later on in the code (after some other logic) I am trying to assign something different to the ownerId:

myObj.ownerId = accountRec.RingCentralOwnerId;

But I get the error

Property or indexer '...ownerId' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only

Is there any way I can assign a new value to a property of an anonymous type after it's been created?

No; they're immutable. – SLaks Dec 28 '17 at 15:14

It's the official way:"If you don't wanna name and type it, who are you to change it? You don't know them, They don't know you." that's what we used to say. – Drag and Drop Dec 28 '17 at 15:18
Ok, thanks. Good to know. – Matt Spinks Dec 28 '17 at 15:32
