I don't think this is possible but here goes...
I want to add method that can handle n numer of generics. for example :
bool<T> MyMethod() where T: Isomething
{
}
will work for one type
bool<T,K> MyMethod() where T: Isomething
{
}
will work for two types
Is there a way to work with n types - e.g.
bool<T[]> MyMethod() where T: Isomething
{
}
the reason I want to do this is to implement a static nhibernate helper method which can load from multiple assemblies - right now it works great for one assembly. My current method is as shown below:
public static ISessionFactory GetMySqlSessionFactory<T>(string connectionString, bool BuildSchema)
{
//configuring is meant to be costly so just do it once for each db and store statically
if (!AllFactories.ContainsKey(connectionString))
{
var configuration =
Fluently.Configure()
.Database(MySQLConfiguration.Standard
.ConnectionString(connectionString)
.ShowSql() //for development/debug only..
.UseOuterJoin()
.QuerySubstitutions("true 1, false 0, yes 'Y', no 'N'"))
.Mappings(m =>
{
m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<T>();
m.AutoMappings.Add(AutoMap.AssemblyOf<T>().Conventions.Add<CascadeAll>);
})
.ExposeConfiguration(cfg =>
{
new SchemaExport(cfg)
.Create(BuildSchema, BuildSchema);
});
AllFactories[connectionString] = configuration.BuildSessionFactory();
}
return AllFactories[connectionString];
}
Where the line: m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf(), I would like to add multiple types e.g.
foreach(T in T[]){
m.FluentMappings.AddFromAssemblyOf<T>()
}
Obviously this couldn't work I'm not completely dumb but I am not so hot on generics - can someone confirm that this isn't possible :-) ..? What would be the most elegant way of achieving this effect in your opinion..?
