Generic Method casting error

protected T ExecuteScalar<T >(DbCommand cmd)
{
object obj;
try
{
obj = db.ExecuteScala r(cmd);
return (T) obj;
}
catch
{
throw;
}
}

It gives me casting error
return (T) obj; //cast error

I call like this
return base.ExecuteSca lar<bool>(dbCom mand);// It returns 0

Hi Anjum,

What is the type of T and obj at the moment of execution. It's hard to convert
to bool something other than bool in the case of direct casting

I have needed to cast a pointer with different types for get a value. I have try to use generic, but there are cast exception. For example the following method: generic<typename T> void XClass::GetValue(T gValue) { int iValue=34234234; void *vValue=&iValue; gValue=(T)*vValue;

I have an object which could be compared to a DataTable/List which I am trying to genericify. I've spent about a day so far in refactoring and in the process gone through some hoops and hit some dead ends. I'm posting this to get some feedback on wether I'm going in the right direction, and at the same time hopefully save others from going through the process.

I have a collection of classes descending from a single root class (let's call it RootClass). They all currently have a property of Logical, of type Logical. However they actually return a subclass of Logical (LogicalA, LogicalB). I'm currently casting them to the right type when I retrieve them, but obviously this isn't terribly 'nice'. I tried converting the class to be generic, and having a type parameter that affected the type of...

Hi, I am trying to write a generic function and it isn't behaving as expected. I want to avoid having to write custom convert functions for my enums so I want to convert to an int and cast to the enum, this wouldn't compile so I tried a few variations. The cast fails inside the generic function even though its valid. The code below is the simplest example of the problem I could think of, even casting int to int fails.

in a generic class, can I code the class so that I can call a static method of the generic class T? In the ConvertFrom method of the generic TypeConvert class I want to write, I have a call to the static Parse method of the conversion class. if (InValue is string) return T.Parse((string)InValue); else return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, InValue);

Hi, I have written a generic method which does different things depending on the type of the parameter. I got it to work, but it seems really inelegant. Is there a better way to do this? In the code below, ColumnMap is a simple struct which basically has three properties, Header (a string), Index (an int), TypeOfData (which is a DataType which is a local eNum). _Mapping is a local List<ColumnMap>. public ColumnMap GetMap<T>(T value)

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
