.NET Generics

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 15:48:04 +0200

Allow for:

generalization of logic based on available types
specify possible supported types
re-usability of code
type safety
defers the exact specification of logic until the class or method is declared and instantiated by user code with all type parameters specified
mostly used for collections (some non-generic versions of collection are not recommended like ArrayList i.e.)
information of exact type parameters used in a generic can be obtained at runtime by reflection

This is third article in series, that explains how to create delegates for public and non-public members of public, non-public or not known in compile-time types. If you are not familiar with previous articles and looking for detailed explanation of how delegates works, how they are created and why, I strongly encourage you to read first two. If you are just looking for a way to create delegates for methods or constructors it is not necessary. Code with new features and with bug fixes is available on GitHub and as Nuget package.
