Inferring type from method generics
- by ng
I am from a Java background and I am looking from the equivalent in c# for the following.
public interface Reader {
<T> T read(Class<? extends T> type);
}
Such that I can do the following, constraining the parameter and inferring the return type.
Cat cat = reader.read(Cat.class);
Dog dog = reader.read(Dog.class);
I was hoping something like this would work in c# but I am not sure it will.
public interface Reader {
T Read<T>();
}
And and do this.
public class TypeReader : Reader {
public T Read<T>() {
Type type = T.GetType();
...
}
}
Is something like this even possible in c#?
