Hi,
I'm kind of stuck with an serializing / deserializing problem using a
generic dictionary holding references to various generic types. It goes as
follows:
<code>
class MyBase : IXmlSerializable
{
// whatever
}
class MyGeneric<ValueType> : MyBase, IXmlSerializable
{
MyGeneric(Valuetype tVal)
{
val = tVal;
}
ValueType val;
}
class Program
{
dictionary<string, MyBase> m_Dic = new dictionary<string,MyBase>();
void FillDictionary()
{
dictionary.Add("Key1", new MyGeneric<int>(10));
dictionary.Add("Key1", new MyGeneric<string>("StringValue"));
dictionary.Add("Key1", new MyGeneric<double>(3.1415));
}
}
</code>
Ok, I hope you can see the idea behind it. It's mainly thought to hold a
variety of different types whithout specifying a parameter enum which selects
the appropiate value via a huge switch statement on lots of overloads to the
value Get/Set property.
While I'm able to serialize the dictionary without a problem to an XML file,
I'm stuck deserializing it.
The problem: how can I can generate a generic from a textinformation like
<MyGenericOfInt32> or MyApp.MyGeneric`1[System.String] ?
The first classification is generated by the .Net serializer and the second
is generated from typeof(...) .
Any ideas are very appreciated.
Thanks,
Florian
