Question

I have 7 methods that are the same with the exception of the Type of the object.

Here are two of them:

1)

public MyResult CreateMyResult(MyResult mi, MyVersion myv)
{
    MyVersionEntity myve = _db.MyVersionEntity.Where(r => r.Id == myv.Id).First();
    MyResultEntity mie = new MyResultEntity();
    myve.MyResultEntityAssoc.Add(mie);
    mie = _updateMyResultEntity(mi, mie);
    mi.Id = mie.Id;
    return mi;
}

2)

public MyIssue CreateMyIssue(MyIssue mi, MyVersion myv)
{
    MyVersionEntity myve = _db.MyVersionEntity.Where(r => r.Id == myv.Id).First();
    MyIssueEntity mie = new MyIssueEntity();
    myve.MyIssueEntityAssoc.Add(mie);
    mie = _updateMyIssueEntity(mi, mie);
    mi.Id = mie.Id;
    return mi;
}

Is there a way to consolidate all of them?

Thanks!

Answer 1

use generic that is

public T Create<T>(T mi, MyVersion myv)
{
    MyVersionEntity myve = _db.MyVersionEntity.Where(r => r.Id == myv.Id).First();
    Entity<T> mie = new Entity<T>();
    myve.EntityAssoc<T>.Add(mie);
    mie = _updateEntity<T>(mi, mie);
    mi.Id = mie.Id;
    return mi;
}

after call it like this

 Create<MyResult>(...)
 Create<MyIssue>(...)
