I am trying to translate one Java library into C# code, and since I am new to C# (and never worked with generics until recently) I am strugling a bit...
As for Java generics, I am trying (and more or less understanding) its way of operation. Although I have checked this Why not extending from Enum<E extends Enum<E>> and this How to use Class<T> in Java?, I am not able to really understand whats going on in this piece of Java code, and, as a result, I am not able to think about an equivalent C# code.
public abstract class TraciObject<E extends Enum<E>> {
private final String id;
private final EnumMap<E, ReadObjectVarQuery<?>> readQueries;
protected TraciObject(String id, Class<E> enumClass) {
this.id = id;
readQueries = new EnumMap<E, ReadObjectVarQuery<?>>(enumClass);
}
...
}
My approach in C# so far is the following:
public abstract class TraciObject<E> where E : Enum<E> { //Non-generic type Enum cannot be used with type arguments
private readonly string id;
private readonly Dictionary<E, ReadObjectVarQuery<E>> readQueries;
protected TraciObject(String id, E enumClass)
{
this.id = id;
readQueries = new Dictionary<E, ReadObjectVarQuery<E>>(enumClass); //cannot convert from E to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEqualityComparer'
}
When I have readQueries = new Dictionary<E, ReadObjectVarQuery<E>>(enumClass);
I was trying to get the corresponding to Java's EnumMap(Class<K> keyType)
, but checking the documentation about Dictionary https://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/xfhwa508(v=vs.110).aspx I am not sure this is possible
