Below is some quick code to illustrate my question. Any way to avoid this apparently unnecessary boxing/unboxing?
public class TestClass<T>
{
public T TestMethod()
{
if (typeof(T) == typeof(bool))
{
return true; // doesn't work
return (T)(object)true; // works, but any way to avoid this?
}
return default(T);
}
}
This is the only way to handle what you are doing here (returning a non default value for a specific closed generic type).
