Class of

[Alexander Muylaert]

Hi

In delphi I can do the following


TMyThing = class(Tobject)

TMyThing2 = class(TMyThing);
TMyThing3 = class(TMyThing);
TMyThing4 = class(TMyThing);

TMyThingClass = class of TMyThing;


function MakeThing(aClass : TMyThingClass) : TMyThing;
begin
result := aClass.Create;
end;

Can I do this in C#. I assume I can do something like this and what is the
syntax.

Kind regards

Alexander

Use typeof(Foo) to get a Type reference, and use
Activator.CreateInstance to create an instance of a type.
