I have the following classes :
public abstract class Item
{
//...
}
public class Customer : Item
{
//...
}
public class Address : Item
{
//...
}
I want to be able to create exact clones using a custom reflection class like this:
Customer customer = new Customer();
ItemReflector irCustomer = new ItemReflector(customer);
Customer customerClone = irCustomer.GetClone<Customer>();
But I'm having trouble with the syntax of the GetClone method:
public class ItemReflector
{
private Item item;
public ItemReflector(Item item)
{
this.item = item;
}
public Item GetClone<T>()
{
T clonedItem = new T();
//...manipulate the clonedItem with reflection...
return clonedItem;
}
}
What do I have to change to the above GetClone() method so that it works?
You need a new
constraint if you want to be able to instantiate T
:
public Item GetClone<T>() where T: new()
{
T clonedItem = new T();
//...manipulate the clonedItem with reflection...
return clonedItem;
}
Since GetClone()
is returning Item
then presumably the constraint is that T
is a sub class of Item
.
Also since ItemReflector
doesn't seem to need state GetClone()
should be static
.
