Generic list of generic objects

Question

Let\'s say I have an object that represents a field of data, that object needs the following properties: Name, Type, Value, Length. Here is the object:

class         


        

Answer 1

I suggest you to define an interface and Field implements that interface

public interface IField
{

}

public class Field : IField
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public Type Type
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof(T);
        }
    }
    public int Length { get; set; }
    public T Value { get; set; }
}

so you can write this code:

var list = new List();

now this list can contain any object of type Field
