dynamic return type of a function

Question

How can I create a function that will have a dynamic return type based on the parameter type?

Like

protected DynamicType Test(DynamicType type)
{

retur         


        

Answer 1

You'd have to use generics for this. For example,

protected T Test(T parameter)
{

}

In this example, the '' tells the compiler that it represents the name of a type, but you don't know what that is in the context of creating this function. So you'd end up calling it like...

int foo;

int bar = Test(foo);
