Question

[EDIT]

I organize my question again,

Models for parameter

public class PaymentModel
{   
    ... 
}

public class CCPaymentModel : PaymentModel
{
    ...
}

public class PaypalPaymentModel : PaymentModel
{
    ...
}

public class GooglePaymentModel : PaymentModel
{
    ...
}    

Interface class

public interface IPayment<T> where T : PaymentModel
{
    ...
}

Models (get inheritance from IPayment),

public class SagePayment
    : IPayment<CreditCardPaymentInfo>
{
    public void MakePayment( CreditCardPaymentInfo creditCardPaymentInfo ) {
        // ...
    }

    public void MakeRefund( CreditCardPaymentInfo creditCardPaymentInfo ) {
        // ...
    }
}

public class GooglePayment
    : IPayment<GooglePaymentModel>
{
    public void MakePayment( GooglePaymentModel paymentInfo ) {
        // ...
    }

    public void MakeRefund( GooglePaymentModel paymentInfo ) {
        // ...
    }
}

public class PaypalPayment
    : IPayment<PayPalPaymentModel>
{...}

Controller (Create instance)

IPayment<???> paymentProcess; // //Error    1   Using the generic type 'com.WebUI.Models.IPayment<T>' requires 1 type arguments

if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Credit Card"))
{
    paymentProcess = new SagePayment(); // it need CCPaymentModel type parameter
}
else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^PayPal"))
{
    paymentProcess = new PayPalPayment(); // it need PaypalPaymentModel type parameter
}
else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Google"))
{
    paymentProcess = new GooglePayment(); // it need GooglePaymentModel type parameter
}

[EDIT]

public void Charge(string paytype,orderNo){

    IPayment<???> paymentProcess; // //Error    1   Using the generic type 'com.WebUI.Models.IPayment<T>' requires 1 type arguments
    Object payinfo;

    if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Credit Card"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new SagePayment(); // <== Error, Can not casting
        payinfo = getPaymentInfo(paytype, orderNo); // it return CCPaymentModel type object
    }
    else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^PayPal"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new PayPalPayment();
        payinfo = getPaymentInfo(paytype, orderNo); // it return PaypalPaymentModel type object
    }
    else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Google"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new GooglePayment(); // it return GooglePaymentModel type object
        payinfo = getPaymentInfo(paytype, orderNo); 
    }

    paymentProcess.MakePayment(payinfo);
}

[EDIT #2]

With this,

public interface IPayment {
}

public interface IPayment<T> : IPayment where T : PaymentModel
{
    void MakePayment(string pickno);
    void makeRefund(T refundInfo);
}

I got an error, Error 1 ‘com.WebUI.Models.IPayment’ does not contain a definition for ‘MakePayment’ and no extension method ‘MakePayment’ accepting a first argument of type ‘Ecom.WebUI.Models.IPayment’ could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

So, to avoid that error, I move MakePayment method to upper interface class,

public interface IPayment {
    void MakePayment(string pickno);
}

public interface IPayment<T> : IPayment where T : PaymentModel
{
    void makeRefund(T refundInfo);
}

Now, the error is gone, BUT how should I do in makeRefund case?
I can not move to upper interface class because I need generic type parameter.

Could you help me a little more please?

Answer 1

You would want to have another IPayment interface without the generics from which IPayment inherits from. That is:

public interface IPayment
{

}

public interface IPayment<T> : IPayment where T : PaymentModel
{

}

EDIT: If you really don’t want to have an IPayment base interface, then you’d have to treat them as type object:

object paymentProcess;

if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Credit Card"))
{
    paymentProcess = new SagePayment();
}
else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^PayPal"))
{
    paymentProcess = new PayPalPayment();
}
else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Google"))
{
    paymentProcess = new GooglePayment();
}

But that might cost you later; regardless you’re going to have to cast to work with the specific implementation types. You’re really best using a base interface. You may even use it in a nice way:

public interface IPayment
{
    PaymentModel Payment { get; }
}

So you can reference and use the PaymentModel without knowing that it’s actually a GooglePaymentModel specifically.

EDIT: Based on your comment, you might have something like:

public interface IPayment
{
    void MakePayment(string pickno);
}

public interface IPayment<T> : IPayment where T : PaymentModel
{
    void MakeRefund(T refundInfo);
}

You could even have a non-generic MakeRefund version typed against PaymentModel so your calling code might not care if it’s a GooglePayment or not. (but that could cause other issues if they pass a PayPalPayment, so that’s up to you)

EDIT: Based on your latest code, you’ll want something like this:

public interface IPayment
{

}

public interface IPayment<T> : IPayment where T : PaymentModel
{
    void MakePayment(T paymentInfo);
    void MakeRefund(T paymentInfo);
}

Your controller/factory would look like:

//not sure on the exact signature since you didn't provide it
public IPayment CreatePayment(string paytype)
{
    IPayment paymentProcess = null;

    if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Credit Card"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new SagePayment();
    }
    else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^PayPal"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new PayPalPayment();
    }
    else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Google"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new GooglePayment();
    }

    return paymentProcess
}

Your usage code would somewhere have to cast it to the known payment type to use:

IPayment untypedPayment = Factory.CreatePayment("PayPal");
IPayment<PayPalPaymentModel> typedPayment = (IPayment<PayPalPaymentModel>)untypedPayment;
typedPayment.MakePayment(new PayPalPaymentModel());

//or alternatively
IPayment untypedPayment = Factory.CreatePayment("PayPal");  
PayPalPayment typedPayment = (PayPalPayment)untypedPayment;
typedPayment.MakeRefund(new PayPalPaymentModel());

EDIT: Based on your latest edits, this is what you want. Drive your base IPayment calls against a PaymentModel. Then in the specific implementations you can cast or type-check at runtime:

public interface IPayment
{
    void MakePayment(PaymentModel paymentInfo);
    void MakeRefund(PaymentModel paymentInfo);
}

public interface IPayment<T> : IPayment where T : PaymentModel
{

}

public class GooglePayment
    : IPayment<GooglePaymentModel>
{
    public void MakePayment(PaymentModel paymentInfo) {
    GooglePaymentModel googlePayment = (GooglePaymentModel)paymentInfo;
    // ...
    }

    public void MakeRefund(PaymentModel paymentInfo) {
    GooglePaymentModel googlePayment = (GooglePaymentModel)paymentInfo;
    // ...
    }
}

Then your Controller:

public void Charge(string paytype,orderNo){

    IPayment paymentProcess = null;
    PaymentModel payinfo = null;

    if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Credit Card"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new SagePayment();
        payinfo = getPaymentInfo(paytype, orderNo);
    }
    else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^PayPal"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new PayPalPayment();
        payinfo = getPaymentInfo(paytype, orderNo);
    }
    else if (Regex.IsMatch(paytype, "^Google"))
    {
        paymentProcess = new GooglePayment();
        payinfo = getPaymentInfo(paytype, orderNo); 
    }

    paymentProcess.MakePayment(payinfo);
}

public PaymentModel getPaymentInfo(string paytype,orderNo)
{
    //return some payment model
}
