Changing property type in class that implements interface with object type property.
- by used2could
I know the title is a bit confusing but bare with me. (I'm up for suggestions on a new title lol)
I'm writing a TemplateEngine that will allow me to use my own markup in text based files. I'm wanting to add controls as plugins as the application matures. Currently i've got a structure like the following:
interface IControl
string Id
object Value
class Label : IControl
string Id
string Value
class Repeater : IControl
string Id
List<IControl> Value
Now you'll see the strange part right away in the Repeater class with the Value property. I was hoping that having the Value type as object in the interface would allow me the flexibility to expand the controls as i go along. The compiler doesn't like this and for good reason i guess.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to accomplish this?
Note: Please don't go into suggesting things like use Spark View Engine for templating. There is a reason i'm creating extra work for myself.
