Hi,

I have a "Product" base class, some other classes "ProductBookDetail","ProductDVDDetail" inherit from this class. I use a ProductService class to make operation on these classes. But, I have to do some check depending of the type (ISBN for Book, languages for DVD). I'd like to know the best way to cast "productDetail" value, I receive in SaveOrupdate. I tried GetType() and cast with (ProductBookDetail)productDetail but that's not work.

Thanks,

var productDetail = new ProductDetailBook() { .... };
var service = IoC.Resolve<IProductServiceGeneric<ProductDetailBook>>();
service.SaveOrUpdate(productDetail);

var productDetail = new ProductDetailDVD() { .... };
var service = IoC.Resolve<IProductServiceGeneric<ProductDetailDVD>>();
service.SaveOrUpdate(productDetail);


public class ProductServiceGeneric<T> : IProductServiceGeneric<T>
{
    private readonly ISession _session;
    private readonly IProductRepoGeneric<T> _repo;
    public ProductServiceGeneric()
    {
        _session = UnitOfWork.CurrentSession;
        _repo = IoC.Resolve<IProductRepoGeneric<T>>();
    }
    public void SaveOrUpdate(T productDetail)
    {            
        using (ITransaction tx = _session.BeginTransaction())
        {
            //here i'd like ot know the type and access properties depending of the class
            _repo.SaveOrUpdate(productDetail);
            tx.Commit();
        }
    }
}
