Yes. As far as the CLR/framework is concerned, they’re normal types. In fact, you can do some interesting things with reflection on anonymous types…
The current C# compiler actually creates a generic type though, so that two anonymous types which both just have a “Foo” property of different types will share a generic type, but have different closed types.
