C#: How to find the default value for a run-time Type?
- by George Mauer
So given a static type in your code you can do
var defaultMyTypeVal = default(MyType);
How would you do the same thing given a variable of Type so you can use it during runtime?
In other words how do I implement the following method without a bunch of if statements or using Generics (because I will not know the type I'm passing into the method at compile time)?
public object GetDefaultValueForType(Type type) {
....
}
