Iterating through a generic list of unknown type
843793Feb 11 2008 — edited Feb 18 2008Hi,
I am in the process of creating pdf reports for my project.I have to deal with a persistence api to get the data for the report.The data will be in the form of a list,like List<SomeObject>,all these lists returned by the persistence framework contains object of some type which implements a common interface.But through that interface I wont be able to get all the data for my reports.So I am looking for a generic way for iterating through the list,by providing some metadata for the data within the list. I am planning to use reflection to query through the list.Is there any feature of generic,through which I can easily iterate through this unknown type,preferrably a combination of reflection and generics,I want to reduce the LOC.Any suggestions??
