Easy way to create anonymous list object

var data = new { OfficerName = "", AccountType = "", AccountNumber = "", ApplicationId = "" };

var itemData = data.ForceCast(e.Item.DataItem);
var itemList = data.GetNewList();  --> create a new list with the anoymous type of data variable.

Code above will generate a dotnet list collection with an anonymous type.
If the type is T whose members are Name, Dept, Role, and Phone in string type.

The implementation is following:

public static class AnonymousClassHelper
{
    /// 

    /// Example:
    /// var data = new { OfficerName = "", AccountType = "", AccountNumber = "", ApplicationId = "" };
    /// var itemData = data.ForceCast(e.Item.DataItem);
    /// 
    /// Now, you can use itemData.OfficerName
    /// >summary>
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    public static T ForceCast;(this T prototype, object obj)
    {
        return (T)obj;
    }

    public static List GetNewList(this T protoType)
    {
        return new List();
    }
}
