Can I define an array or a list from anonymous class?

like this:

 new { ID = 1, Name = "Name1"},
 new { ID = 2, Name = "Name2"}
}

Yes, you'll just need to type the persons variable implicitly and remove the type specifier from the array creation statement.

var persons = new []
{
    new { ID = 1, Name = "Name1" },
    new { ID = 2, Name = "Name2" }
}

Thanks, and Can I define a list directly (without pass an array to the list) ?

@Homam: Not directly (using list initializer syntax), as you'd have to specify the name of the anonymous type. You can, however, just call ToList() at the end of your array declaration and persons will then be a List<>.
