Creating an Array of unknown type

Question

I have an object which I must validate values off the problem, some of the attributes of the Objects are arrays of custom objects. Such that it will involve some boring down

Answer 1

As Oli Charlesworth points out, you can not use the variable name to cast. For a generic type, you will have to cast to Object or Object[].

Also the Object -> Object[] cast looks illegal. You probably just want a straight cast like so:

public Object[] getAttribArray(RIORepeatingGrpEnum repeatingGrp)
{
    Object[] grp = (Object[])getAttrib(repeatingGrp.toString());
    return grp;
}
