I have a function that accepts a generic parameter T that is of type class like so :
public Func<T, bool> MyMethod<T>(string paramName, object value) where T : class
But when calling the function I do not have direct access to the class that needs to be the parameter.
MyMethod<foo>("foo1", "foo2")
Is there a way I can get the class foo
via other means like reflection so I can use the function?
UPDATE:
This method in particular performs a Lambda expression through LINQ and checks if the parameter value is equal to the value I passed... So T value will not make sense i.e. that's why I need an object type. Also My real problem is that I can't do something like;
MyMethod<fooInstance>("foo1","foo2")
and I need to get a reference of the Type rather than class. This because the class name is encrypted so i need to get the Type reflection using the Activator class and assign the object returned to the generic call of MyMethod function
example:
object o = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name + ".Foo"));
MyMethod<o.getType()>("foo1","foo2");
