Why can't I do this (it gives a syntactic error):?
foreach (System.Reflect ion.PropertyInf o oProp in
oObject.GetType ().GetPropertie s())
{
if ((oProp.Propert yType.IsGeneric Type) &&
(oProp.Property Type.GetGeneric TypeDefinition( ) ==
(typeof(IList<> ))))
{
Type oMyType = oProp.PropertyT ype.GetGenericA rguments()[0];
List<oMyTypeMyN ewVariable = new List<oMyType>() ;
}
}
Thanks in advance.

3 problems; first: the compiler isn't going to believe you, in the same way
that it doesn't believe the following:
if(control is TextBox) {
TextBox tb = control;
}
second; you have checked IList<T>, and then assigned to List<T>.
third; oMyType is not a type; you can't use dynamic T in this way; you would
need to use reflection to create the generic type (or to invoke a generic
method typed to that type).

How can I do it via Reflection then?
Thanks for your answer.

Full example:
static class Program
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
TestGenerics(
new List<int>(),
new Collection<Cont rol>(),
new double[] {});
}
public static void TestGenerics(pa rams object[] values)
{
MethodInfo mi = typeof(Program) .GetMethod("Tes tGeneric");
foreach (object obj in values)
{
Type type = obj.GetType();
foreach (Type interfaceType in type.GetInterfa ces())
{
if (interfaceType. IsGenericType &&
interfaceType.G etGenericTypeDe finition()==typ eof(IList<>)) {
mi.MakeGenericM ethod(interface Type.GetGeneric Arguments()).In voke(null,
new object[] {obj});
break;
}
}
}
}
public static void TestGeneric<T>( IList<Titem)
{
Console.WriteLi ne("Made it: T=" + typeof(T).Name) ;
}
}
See my other post; I recommend the "branch to a generic method" approach, as
it means you only use reflection briefly to change to the second method;
this means that the code within the method *accessed* via reflection can be
fully compiled and optimised, and use generic syntax rather than reflection.
Note also that the inner-method would typically be private, so would require
a binding-flag; I only made it public to make it easy to obtain via
GetMethod().

Cool!!! I think that this is what I was looking for! I'll report soon.
Thanks very much.

Ok this solution finally works for me. Thanks very much.

a binding-flag; I only made it public to make it easy to obtain via

But I don't understand this, if I make the method private (which I think
it's the correct way) I can't access it with GetMethod, how can I do it?

Nevertheless, I have done it with:
BindingFlags.St atic | BindingFlags.No nPublic
However, isn't there a way to obtain the MethodInfo statically?
Something like this:
GetMethod(MyCla ss.MyStaticMeth od);
Thanks again.

If the method was non-generic (or we knew the T in advance), then you may be
able to do this by declaring a matching delegate signature, creating a
delegate pointing to the method, and then inspecting the delegate instance's
Method property (a MethodInfo).
However, AFAIK it is only possible to do this for concrete methods, and you
need to reference the generic method definition (not a closed implementation
there-of); so I don't know if it can be done (how, for instance, would you
declare the variable for this step?
There may be a non-delegate way of accessing the method, but given that we
are using reflection anyhow, an extra GetMethod isn't likely to be much of
an issue.

Hi,
is there a way, maybe using reflection, to use a generic class passing the

I tried the next example, but doesn't work:

public class Aircraft : Vehicle

Hi,
I have my property editor wich uses the pop up
collection editor for arrays etc,
but i have had to use a generic wrapper for the
elements in some types of collections.
although the editing actually works well,
and I can set the name ok in the primary property editor,
this makes a mess of the type name displayed in the pop up colection editor,
is there any way to change this ?

Hi
I need to invoke a generic method determined at runtime. The method has two
arguments, a string and a generic type that is constrained to a struct:
public void Add<T>(string key, T value) where T : struct
The method is an instance member located on a class called
CmsPropertyManager. I also have a number of other "Add" methods with
different overloads.

Hi Anders,
I'm afraid the GetMethod() does not currently support filtering on generic
parameters so you will have to loop through the existing methods using
GetMethods()
MethodInfo methods = t.GetMethods();
