A generic method is defined as follows:
private static T GetComparisonObject<T>(ComparisonAttribute attribute, object objectToParse)
{
// Perform a some action
return (T)resultObject;
}
The method is invoked as follows:
var srcObjectToCompare = GetComparisonObject<DynamicType>(attributeToCompare, srcObject);
The
type for which the method needs to be invoked is configured in the config file as:
<add attributename ="Count" attributetype ="MemberInformation" attributeparam ="Count" type="
System.Int32" comparertype="ditCreditEMGTestAutomationDifferenceEngine.Comparers.TypeComparer, ditCreditEMGTestAutomationDifferenceEngine.dll" />
The token that is passed in < for the generic methods has to be the
type for which the method is being invoked. From the
type key configuration in the XML, an instance of
Type represnting the
type can be created{i.e.
Type.GetType("
System.Int32")}, but how can the
Type Definition be generated which can then be passed to the the Generic method?
Hope am not missing something elementary here!! :-O
Thanks in advance.
