Accessing anonymous items in an object

Nov 11 2009 5:23 PM
Hi all,
I'm getting my feet wet with object-oriented programming. I've put together an object that loads agents based off of their employee number. One of the items there is an anonymous list generated from a Linq query.  I cannot access the individual list items after creating the objects. Here's the code:

 public class AgentObject
{
public int EmpNumber;
public object stats;

public AgentObject(int EmployeeNumber)
{
EmpNumber = EmployeeNumber;
stats = AgentStats(EmpNumber);
}

protected virtual object AgentStats(int EmpNum)
{
Roboto.GetData empData = new Roboto.GetData();
DataTable dt = empData.Eligible("test");
var query = (from r in dt.AsEnumerable()
where r.Field<string>("Employee_Number") == EmpNum.ToString()
select new
{
Employee_Number = r["Employee_Number"],
Full_Name = r["Full_Name"],
Supervisor_Name = r["Supervisor_Name"],
Awesomeness = r["Awesomeness"],
Lameness = r["Lameness"]
}).ToList();
return query;
}
}

I'm creating an array of agent objects like:
 foreach (var v in query)
{
for (int j = 0; j < aObject.Count(); j++)
{
aObject[j] = new SubmittedExceptions(Convert.ToInt32(v.Employee_Number));
}
}

(where query is the results from another Linq query to get a full list of employee numbers).

So the question is, how do I access the individual items under aObject[x].stats? I need to fill some on-screen data with stats.Full_Name and stats.Supervisor_Name.
I tried:

foreach (var v in aObject[x].stats)
{
lblEmployee_Number.txt = v.Full_Name;
}

but v.full_name (nor anything else under the anonymous type 'stats' is recognized.
HELP

Thanks in advance for the help!
