Hello!

Tell me, please, how can I pass into the template not only the type, but also a specific value, for example, an integer? For example, there is such code:

public class Sample <T, size> { private T[] arr = new T[size]; // =( ... }

How to pass a number through size?

Thank!

    Perhaps you need such an idea. Declare an attribute whose property contains the number you need, and mark this class with the attribute that you will substitute as a Generic parameter. And in the static constructor of the Generic class, read the attribute for T.

    • This is certainly a solution to the set (contrived) task, but if I saw a similar implementation in the project, I would consider it a crutch and throw it out. - wind

    What for? This is not possible in the CLR. Pass the size to the class constructor.

    • This is possible in C ++, and it is very convenient! For example, I would like to immediately indicate the dimension of the array in the class, without using initialization in the constructor. It's comfortable. - Salivan 5:41 pm

      @Asen In c ++ it is not so much done for convenience as for all sorts of chips and patterned magic. In Sharpe is simply impossible. And about the convenience of a controversial issue. Anyway, you have to specify the size, either in the constructor or when parameterizing the template. - IronVbif
    • Is it impossible in sharpe? This is news ... sorry = ( - Salivan

      @Asen - Due to the lack of typedef'ов beauty of records like Sample<MyType, 26> and Sample<MyType, 136> looks rather doubtful. - Apparently, the question arose from an academic, rather than practical interest, since in real life such use of generics is rather pointless. - Costantino Rupert

    Indeed, why? In Sharpe, this is more than stupid ... The meaning of a generic is to generalize, not to concretize. If the size of the array is known in advance, use a static field, a constant. If you need to create dynamically - the designer is in your hands (including the static designer). I do not know how in the pros, but in Sharp it is just more than illogical ...
