setting value to the instance of primitive types
- by Samreen
I have a function which performs some operation i.e. fetches some data from database.
The generic it takes is primitive type always i.e. int, char, bool, string etc. I can easily create its instance. But I can't set the value that I have fetched from database to this instance.
public T PerformOperation<T>()
{
object instance = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T));
object result=FetchData();
instance = (T)result; //It gives error on this statement
}
The function is called as:
int result = PerformOperation<int>();
Is there some way of casting the object Type to any generic type which is always primitive?
