Question

this is a dummy example what I am trying to do:

var ass = Assembly.Load("Dummy.Class.FullName");

var yy =
    from t in ass.GetTypes()
    let attributes = t.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MyTestAttribute), true)
    where attributes != null && attributes.Length > 0
    select new { Type = t, Attributes = attributes.Cast<MyTestAttribute>() };

foreach (var x in yy)
{
    TestOpen<typeof(x.Type)>();
}

private void TestOpen<TEntity>() where TEntity : Entity, new()
{
}

I can´t get a class definition and pass to a generic method this way, I tried everything, I guess I am missing something in special that the method is waiting some compiled class and from reflection I can´t get this, correct?

cheers

Answer 1

You can use MakeGenericMethod to generate the proper method definition, and call it via reflection.

Type thisType = this.GetType();

var mi = thisType.GetMethod("TestOpen");

foreach (var x in yy)
{
    var gmi = mi.MakeGenericMethod(x.Type);
    gmi.Invoke(this, null);
}
