Is it possible to create an object without a class in C#?

In many languages you can create an object without creating a data type, and add properties to that object.

For example in JS or AS:

 var myObject = {};
 myObject.myParameter = "hello world";

Or you can create structures in C and C++.

Is it possible to do that in C#?

Read about ExpandoObject 

dynamic myObject = new ExpandoObject();
myObject.myParameter = "hello world";

Console.WriteLine(myObject.myParameter);

Yes there is ExpandoObject under System.Dynamic namespace.You could add properties on the fly like you do in other dynamic languages

dynamic dynObject = new ExpandoObject();
dynObject.someProperty= "Value";

Anonymous Types is what you looking for. Eg -

var v = new { Amount = 108, Message = "Hello" };

Above code will create a new object with properties Amount and Message.
