Passing Anonymous Types as Method Parameters with LINQ to SQL

I was looking for a way to Pass Anonymous types as parameters to a method as I didnt want to create code redundancy. Based on the research, I found out that Creating a Class with the same properties with that of the anonymous type would do the trick. Here's an Example:

public class articleitems
    {
        public string title { get; set; }
        public string web_blurb { get; set; }        
        public DateTime publish_date { get; set; }
        public string webauthor { get; set; }
        public string body { get; set; }
    } 

using this class in your LINQ to SQL query, this is what u get:

List articlelist = (from cat in db.articleposts
                                          where cat.columntypeid == 1  
                                          select new articleitems
                     {
                                              title = cat.title,
                                              web_blurb = cat.web_blurb,
                                              publish_date = cat.publish_date,
                                              webauthor = cat.authorname,
                                              body = cat.body
                                          }).ToList();

The returned List can now be used in your method:
GetItems(articlelist);

Yippy!
