If your using .NET 4 you *could* return an IEnumerable < object > and use dynamics:

public IEnumerable<object> getDirectory()
        {
            var queryobj = from dr in this.oEFobject.DIRECTORies select new
                        {
                            Ad1 = dr.ADDRESS1,
                            Ad2 = dr.ADDRESS2,
                            City = dr.CITY,
                            CoName = dr.COMPANYNAME
                        };
            return queryobj;
        }

Then

dynamic thing = getDirectory();
foreach (dynamic x in thing)
{
       string s = x.Ad1;
      //or whatever
}

but DON'T DO IT (g)
