Sorry, confusing subject, but just a quick question.
I wanted to make one of my C# classes generic, but I didn't want to have
to worry about rewriting code everywhere that class was used, so I
created a default derived class that shared the same name that had my
default generic type.
So something like this:
public class MyClass : MyClass<string> {
public static string TestStringDerived = "World";
public static string TestFuncDerived() {
return "World";
}
}
public class MyClass<T> {
public static string TestString = "Hello";
public static string TestFunc() {
return "Hello";
}
}
Then I found in IronRuby that everywhere I had used MyClass.TestFunc or
MyClass.TestString no longer worked. In fact in the above example
MyClass.TestFuncDerived and MyClass.TestStringDerived don't work either.
I have already found my solution. Simply by adding an empty generic
parameter it will work. So, MyClass[].TestFunc or
MyClass[].TestFuncDerived works.
So, my question (just because I am curious) is whether there is some
deeper reason as to why IronRuby does not assume I want an empty generic
parameter (MyClass[]) when I just give it MyClass.
Thanks!
