How to create a class dynamically

I need to create a class object dynamically. I attempted this using the dynamic keyword.

dynamic dataTransferObject = new dtoClass();
                dataTransferObject.Property1= "someValue";
                dataTransferObject.Property2= "someOtherValue";

                LogicLayer.Update(dataTransferObject);

I will interpret the object to perform further action inside of the logic layer. The compiler does not like my syntax, please advise!

try to use anonymous type. check following code:

var v = new { Property1 = "someValue", Property2 = "someOtherValue" };

Anonymous types provide a convenient way to encapsulate a set of read-only properties into a single object without having to explicitly define a type first.

I think this might be what you're looking for!

Go to the section called "Expandos and Dynamic" - it allows you to do the following:

var person = New.Person();
person.FirstName = "Louis";
person.LastName = "Dejardin";

use the ExpandoObject to accomplish this. 

dynamic dataTransferObject = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();
dataTransferObject.Property1 = "someValue";
dataTransferObject.Property2 = "someOtherValue";
