Hello,

I am getting a anonymous type from Linq Query inside a function.
How can I return the obtained values and use them outside the
function?

Do I need to create a new class?

Here is my code:

Public Shared Function GetStats() As ??????????????????

Dim database As New CodeDataContext
Dim statistics = database.Tags.Select( _
Function(t) New With { _
Key .Total = database.Tags.Count(), _
Key .Linked = database.Tags.Where( _
Function(tag) _
tag.FilesTags.Any() OrElse _
tag.ArticlesTags.Any()).Count() _
}).FirstOrDefault()

Return statistics ???????????????????

End Function

Thanks,
Miguel

Maybe you can use an Object data type?

Yes, but the type properties are not recognized by my editor outside
the function ...

.... maybe I will create a class and return that class.

Thanks,
