I've an Interface
where I am trying to create a generic List<T>
and assign objects dynamically to it. Suppose as the following:
public class Person
{
public string id { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}
public interface IPerson
{
List<T> Get<T>() where T : new();
}
Finally I tried to do the following to pass the list of person object:
class aPerson : IPerson
{
public List<Person> Get<Person>() //The constraints for type parameter 'Person' of method 'Program.aPerson.Get<Person>()' must match the constraints for type parameter 'T' of interface method 'Program.IPerson.Get<T>()'
{
List<Person> aLst = new List<Person>()
{
new Person { id = "1001", name = "John" }, //Cannot create an instance of the variable type 'Person' because it does not have the new() constraint
new Person { id = "1002", name = "Jack" }
};
return aLst;
}
}
I know, I am doing wrong here and expecting if someone could point out what could be the possible solution - Thanks.
The way you are using Generic Interface is incorrect, you can not the exact T type when you are implementing a generic Interface. In fact generic interfaces is a way of extending classes based interface you defined.
public interface IPerson<T>
{
List<T> Get();
}
class aPerson : IPerson<Person>
{
public List<Person> Get()
{
var aLst = new List<Person>()
{
new Person { id = "1001", name = "John" },
new Person { id = "1002", name = "Jack" }
};
return aLst;
}
}
The error is because you don't have a parameter less constructor for the Person class, Having said that I would suggest a different approach for solving the issue.
public interface IPeople<T> where T: class
{
List<T> Get();
}
public class People<Person>
{
List<Person> Get()
{
var aLst = new List<Person>()
{
new Person { id = "1001", name = "John" },
new Person { id = "1002", name = "Jack" }
};
return aLst;
}
}
}
