Question

Greetings

I’m wondering if it is possible to create a single method with a random type.

Something like:

public static T CheckWhatTIs(object source)
{
    MessageBox.Show("T = " + T.GetType());
}

where I would get “T = bool” when I use it as CheckWhatTIs(true);
and get “T = int” when I use it as CheckWhatTIs(1);

Is it possible to accomplish this ?

Answer 1

public static void CheckWhatTIs<T>(T source)
{
    MessageBox.Show("T = " + source.GetType());
}

Few remarks:

1. The function has no return type as you are just showing a message box
2. If you want to use it as CheckWhatTIs(1) and CheckWhatTIs(true) don’t declare it as an extension method, remove this from the parameters.
