Question

Hypothetically it\'d be handy for me to do this:

foo.GetColumnValues(dm.mainColumn, int)
foo.GetColumnValues(dm.mainColumn, string)

where t

Answer 1

foo.GetColumnValues(dm.mainColumn, typeof(int));
foo.GetColumnValues(dm.mainColumn, typeof(string));

Or using generics:

foo.GetColumnValues(dm.mainColumn);
foo.GetColumnValues(dm.mainColumn);
