decorator

is it possible to easily and dynamically decorate an object?

for example, lets say I have a List<PointF>. this list is actually a plot of the sine function. I'd like to go through these points and add a flag to each PointF of whether it's a peak or not.

but I don't want to create a new extended SpecialPointF or whatever, that has a boolean property.

judge me all you want for being lazy, but laziness is how awesome ideas are born (also bad ideas)

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
