.NET/C#: refactoring some C# 1 code that uses HashTables as a poor mans property bag (via:Stack Overflow)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/01/30
A while ago, I was refactoring some C# 1 code that uses HashTables as a poor mans property bag.
The problem was that I felt my code was convoluted, and should be denser, especially avoiding Convert.ChangeType. My code was already much simpler than casting tuples to a superclass.
So I asked this question on StackOverflow: c# – Is there a solution that feels less clumsy than Convert.ChangeType to get the value from a HashTable – Stack Overflow.
User dasblinkenlight showed it could be shortened and explained why (hyperlinks are mine):
Since System.String is sealed, the expression
genericType.IsSubclassOf(stringType)is the same as
genericType == stringTypeTherefore you do not need a call of Convert.ChangeType: you can cast to T by casting to object, like this:
object stringResult; // Note the change of type to "object" if (haveValue) stringResult = ((string)properties[propertyName]).Trim(); else stringResult = string.Empty; result = (T)stringResult; // It is allowed to cast object to generic T
The original .NET 1.1 code had loads of null checks wrapped if/then/else statements to assign default values for null values.
I wanted to get rid of that, and get code like this: Read the rest of this entry »
