Generic method

The following code shows some example of generic method

//the T can be inferred from the type of input parameter public static T DoByInferType<T>(T input) { return default(T); } //the Toutput cannot be inferred by the input parameter public static Toutput DoByExplicitType<Tinput, Toutput>(Tinput input) { return default(Toutput); } int result = Utililty.DoByInferType(1); //or (the <int> is optional) //int result = Utililty.DoByInferType<int>(1); //<string, int> has be explicit int result2 = Utililty.DoByExplicitType<string, int>("1"); List<string> l = new List<string>(); Converter<string, int> converterUsingDelegate = delegate(string theString) { return int.Parse(theString); }; //public List<TOutput> ConvertAll<TOutput>(Converter<T, TOutput> converter); //the TOutput can be inferred from the input paramether List<int> intList1 = l.ConvertAll(converterUsingDelegate);
