I'm currently converting and casting from Class to Class2
using the implicit operator.
But what I want to do is, that, whenever I refer to foo (Class<Class2>)
, I'd like for Goo(Class)
to be returned so that I can access the public Properties of it directly, without having to cast it first into a new variable.
In other words, I want that when I access Class<Class>
, I'd like Goo to be returned.
I'm aware I might have not been able to explain properly so feel free to ask in the comment section so that I can try to fill in even better on what I mean. Thanks in advance!
class Class<T> where T : new()
{
public T Goo;
public Class() { Goo = new T(); }
public static implicit operator T(Class<T> Loo)
{
return Loo.Goo;
}
}
class ClassX
{
public byte[] SharedData;
public ClassX() { }
}
class Class2 : ClassX
{
public byte Data;
public Class2() { }
}
class Class3 : ClassX
{
public string Data;
public Class3() { }
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Class<Class2> foo = new Class<Class2>();
Class2 poo = foo;
foo.Data = 0xFF; // Error - I want this to work, tho.
poo.Data = 0xFF; // Works - Not what I want to use.
System.Console.ReadLine();
}
}
EDIT #1: Updated the code.
