C# Generics : how to use x.MaxValue / x.MinValue (int, float, double) in a generic class

Question

I\'m using the WPF Extended Toolkit ( http://wpftoolkit.codeplex.com/ ).

It has a nice NumericUpDown control that I\'d like to use, but internally it uses doubles -

Answer 1

The OP made this comment on another answer:

I want to use these controls in my XAML. My idea was to create a generic version, and then create empty classes like NumericUpDownInt : GNumericUpDown { } Would that be the way to go, or is there a better/cleaner way to your knowledge

If you're going to go that route, then just pass the min and max directly:

class abstract GenericNumericUpDown
{
    public GenericNumericUpDown(T min, T max) { ... }
}

class NumericUpDownInt : GenericNumericUpDown
{
    public NumericUpDownInt() : base(int.MinValue, int.MaxValue) { ... }
}

class NumericUpDownFloat : GenericNumericUpDown
{
    public NumericUpDownFloat() : base(float.MinValue, float.MaxValue) { ... }
}

class NumericUpDownDouble : GenericNumericUpDown
{
    public NumericUpDownDouble() : base(double.MinValue, double.MaxValue) { ... }
}
