Convert value from string to generic type that is either Guid or int


c# asp.net generics casting

the below code works fine with conversion to Guid . check it

id = (T)TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(T)).ConvertFromInvariantString(text);

If T will either be Guid or Int32 then it's not really very generic, is it? Just write two methods instead - either with different names, or possibly overloads. I don't see the benefit in using generics here, and it may very well make your code more complicated than it needs to be.

You can try something like this perhaps:

private void MyMethod<T>(string rawId, Action<T> doSomethingWithId){    T id = (T)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T), new object[] { rawId });    doSomethingWithId(id);}
