Answer 1

You have to specify a type argument. For example:

string x = TypeDeclaringMethod.GetUrlDataEntity<string>();

The MSDN documentation on generic methods has more details.

Note that in this case, you can't use type inference as the method has no parameters which use T . If your method were:

public static T DoSomething<T>(T input)

then you'd be able to get the compiler to infer the type argument, eg

int x = 10;
int y = DoSomething(x);
