C＃泛型与反射

Question

i'm using linq. All my queries looks like var query = dc.GetTable<myType>() .

I wish i could choose "myType" using a string parameter. I tried to create a Type object using reflection, but the compiler doesn't recognize Type objects as class definitions.

Any suggestions? Thanks

Answer 1

有一个GetTable（Type）扩展方法，它可以完全满足您的需求：

var query = dc.GetTable(Type.GetType("namespace.type, assembly"));

Answer 2

Why do you want that ? Using the generic method like you do now, gives you compile time checking support, whereas a string parameter not.

Answer 3

You can create an query instance as a generic Table<> object, but it won't be recognized in compile time. see Using Type objects as Type Parameters for Generics in C#
