Kick post on Types, nothing outrageous, but this was just a construct that I never used too much.
The other day a collegue and we got stuck on a method similar to this
void DoStuff(Type type) { var iInterface = typeof(ISomethingAmazing); Type genericType = //how to get ISomethingAmazing<type>
//do more things }
and well I didn’t know but you can do this
void DoStuff(Type type) { var iInterface = typeof(ISomethingAmazing); Type genericType = iInterface.MakeGenericType(new Type[] { **type **});
//do more things }
Why would you want this? well say for example, you are working with a container and need to get all the ISomethingAmazing of whatever your type is Particularly handy if you are using a handlers or factories a lot.
What happened?
Basically we just had information about the types we wanted but at compile type we didnt know the types, this is a away to return a runtime type even when you dont know what that type is.
I hope this is helpful for someone
Cheers
