Generic functions
Generic methods have type parameters. They provide a way to parameterize the types used in a method. This means you can provide only one implementation and call it with different types. Generic methods require an unusual syntax form for more information on generic methods Click here
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;
public static class Utilities
{
public static T Deserialize<T>(string jsonString)
{
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(jsonString)))
{
DataContractJsonSerializer serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T));
return (T)serializer.ReadObject(ms);
}
}
}
Above function accept string and return type and convert it to object as specified in return type.
Calling generic function
List<.RequestsType>objLstResponse=new List<.RequestsType>();
objLstResponse=Utilities.Deserialise<List<.RequestsType>>(response);
