Question

Suppose I have a generic class called MyClass<T> how can I create a JavascriptConverter that will be used for any T possible (be it MyClass<OtherClass>, MyClass<SimpleClass>)?

I tried to to the following in my converter:

public Enumerable<Type> SupportedTypes
{
  get
  {
    return new List<Type>(){ typeof(MyClass<>) };
  }
}

But to no avail.

Any ideas? is this possible?
If not, is there any other way to acheive the same result?

Answer 1

If you really want this, with no filters at all:

using System.Linq;

....

var concreteGenericTypes =
    (from assembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
     from T in assembly.GetTypes()
     where T.IsClass && T.GetConstructor(new Type[] { }) != null
     select typeof(MyClass<>).MakeGenericType(T)).ToList();

It gets all loaded assemblies, then all types for those assemblies, then filters according to your generic where conditions, finally it makes a concrete generic type from your class and the type.
