Passing a Class as Variable C#

Question

I need some help, hope it is doable.

I would like to pass a Class as a variable in C#.

This is my code so you can see what I am trying to do:

object shClass;
switch ((cbxType.SelectedItem as ComboBoxItem).Value)
{
    case "articles":
            shClass = ArticlesClass;
            break;
    case "topics":
            shClass = TopicsClass;
            break;
}
serializer.Deserialize<shClass>(response);

This code does not work, and this just to give you an idea what I need. Is this possible?

I hope you can help me out. Thank you.

Answer 1

Why you need to put it outside the switch?? You can try putting it inside instead

switch ((cbxType.SelectedItem as ComboBoxItem).Value)
{
    case "articles":
            serializer.Deserialize<ArticlesClass>(response);
            break;
    case "topics":
            serializer.Deserialize<TopicsClass>(response);
            break;
}
