I'm trying to do something like this:
public class MySuperCoolClass<T>
{
public T? myMaybeNullField {get; set;}
}
Is this possible?
This gives me the error:
error CS0453: The type T' must be a non-nullable value type in order
to use it as type parameter
T' in the generic type or method
System.Nullable'.
Thanks
Add where T : struct
generic constraint to get rid of the error since Nullable<T>
accepts only struct
.
public class MySuperCoolClass<T> where T : struct
{
public T? myMaybeNullField { get; set; }
}
Nullable<T>
is defined as below
public struct Nullable<T> where T : struct
So you're also forced to do so, just to prevent you from doing MySuperCoolClass<object>
which makes object?
which is not valid.
Do you see your job ?
public static Nullable<T> ToNullable<T>(this string s) where T: struct
{
Nullable<T> result = new Nullable<T>();
try
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(s) && s.Trim().Length > 0)
{
TypeConverter conv = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T));
result = (T)conv.ConvertFrom(s);
}
}
catch { }
return result;
}
