Restrições em parâmetros de tipo (Guia de programação C#)

Restrições em parâmetros de tipo (Guia de programação C#)

Constraints on Type Parameters (C# Programming Guide)

Updated: July 2008

When you define a generic class, you can apply restrictions to the kinds of types that client code can use for type arguments when it instantiates your class. If client code tries to instantiate your class by using a type that is not allowed by a constraint, the result is a compile-time error. These restrictions are called constraints. Constraints are specified by using the where contextual keyword. The following table lists the six types of constraints:

Constraint

Description

where T: struct

The type argument must be a value type. Any value type except Nullable can be specified. See Using Nullable Types (C# Programming Guide) for more information.

where T : class

The type argument must be a reference type; this applies also to any class, interface, delegate, or array type.

where T : new()

The type argument must have a public parameterless constructor. When used together with other constraints, the new() constraint must be specified last.

where T :

The type argument must be or derive from the specified base class.

where T :

The type argument must be or implement the specified interface. Multiple interface constraints can be specified. The constraining interface can also be generic.

where T : U

The type argument supplied for T must be or derive from the argument supplied for U. This is called a naked type constraint.

If you want to examine an item in a generic list to determine whether it is valid or to compare it to some other item, the compiler must have some guarantee that the operator or method it has to call will be supported by any type argument that might be specified by client code. This guarantee is obtained by applying one or more constraints to your generic class definition. For example, the base class constraint tells the compiler that only objects of this type or derived from this type will be used as type arguments. Once the compiler has this guarantee, it can allow methods of that type to be called in the generic class. Constraints are applied by using the contextual keyword where. The following code example demonstrates the functionality we can add to the GenericList class (in Introduction to Generics (C# Programming Guide)) by applying a base class constraint.

C#
public class Employee

{
private string name;
private int id;

public Employee(string s, int i)
{
name = s;
id = i;
}

public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}

public int ID
{
get { return id; }
set { id = value; }
}
}

public class GenericList where T : Employee
{
private class Node
{
private Node next;
private T data;

public Node(T t)
{
next = null;
data = t;
}

public Node Next
{
get { return next; }
set { next = value; }
}

public T Data
{
get { return data; }
set { data = value; }
}
}

private Node head;

public GenericList() //constructor
{
head = null;
}

public void AddHead(T t)
{
Node n = new Node(t);
n.Next = head;
head = n;
}

public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()
{
Node current = head;

while (current != null)
{
yield return current.Data;
current = current.Next;
}
}

public T FindFirstOccurrence(string s)
{
Node current = head;
T t = null;

while (current != null)
{
//The constraint enables access to the Name property.
if (current.Data.Name == s)
{
t = current.Data;
break;
}
else
{
current = current.Next;
}
}
return t;
}
}

The constraint enables the generic class to use the Employee.Name property because all items of type T are guaranteed to be either an Employee object or an object that inherits from Employee.

Multiple constraints can be applied to the same type parameter, and the constraints themselves can be generic types, as follows:

C#
class EmployeeList where T : Employee, IEmployee, System.IComparable, new()

{
// ...
}

By constraining the type parameter, you increase the number of allowable operations and method calls to those supported by the constraining type and all types in its inheritance hierarchy. Therefore, when you design generic classes or methods, if you will be performing any operation on the generic members beyond simple assignment or calling any methods not supported by System.Object, you will have to apply constraints to the type parameter.

When applying the where T : class constraint, avoid the == and != operators on the type parameter because these operators will test for reference identity only, not for value equality. This is the case even if these operators are overloaded in a type that is used as an argument. The following code illustrates this point; the output is false even though the String class overloads the == operator.

C#
public static void OpTest(T s, T t) where T : class

{
System.Console.WriteLine(s == t);
}
static void Main()
{
string s1 = "foo";
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder("foo");
string s2 = sb.ToString();
OpTest<string>(s1, s2);
}

The reason for this behavior is that, at compile time, the compiler only knows that T is a reference type, and therefore must use the default operators that are valid for all reference types. If you must test for value equality, the recommended way is to also apply the where T : IComparable constraint and implement that interface in any class that will be used to construct the generic class.

You can apply constraints to multiple parameters, and multiple constraints to a single parameter, as shown in the following example:

C#
class Base { }

class Test
where U : struct
where T : Base, new() { }

Type parameters that have no constraints, such as T in public class SampleClass{}, are called unbounded type parameters. Unbounded type parameters have the following rules:

  • The != and == operators cannot be used because there is no guarantee that the concrete type argument will support these operators.

  • They can be converted to and from System.Object or explicitly converted to any interface type.

  • You can compare to null. If an unbounded parameter is compared to null, the comparison will always return false if the type argument is a value type.

When a generic type parameter is used as a constraint, it is called a naked type constraint. Naked type constraints are useful when a member function with its own type parameter has to constrain that parameter to the type parameter of the containing type, as shown in the following example:

C#
class List

{
void Add(List items) where U : T {/*...*/}
}

In the previous example, T is a naked type constraint in the context of the Add method, and an unbounded type parameter in the context of the List class.

Naked type constraints can also be used in generic class definitions. Note that the naked type constraint must also have been declared within the angle brackets together with any other type parameters:

C#
//naked type constraint

public class SampleClass where T : V { }

The usefulness of naked type constraints with generic classes is very limited because the compiler can assume nothing about a naked type constraint except that it derives from System.Object. Use naked type constraints on generic classes in scenarios in which you want to enforce an inheritance relationship between two type parameters.

CodeProject: Logging method name in .NET. Free source code and programming help

Introduction

Before .NET, we were always looking for a way to log current method name in a log file for better logging. But, there were no functionalities that could have helped in this, and it was left as an uncompleted job.

But, with .NET, we could easily find out the name of the current method or parent method. This has been accomplished by StackFrame, StackTrace, and MethodBase classes in System.Diagnostics and System.Reflection namespaces.

  • StackFrame provides information about function call on stack call for current process.
  • StackTrace is a collection of StackFrame.
  • MethodBase is an abstract class containing information about current method.

Note: When an exception occurs in the method, exception object contains a reference to the StackTrace object that could be used to log the method name. But for logging a method name without an error generated, we need to read it from the stack, using StackFrame class.

In the sample, MethodBase object would reference to current function on stack call returned by StackFrame object. To get the parent method, we would use StackTrace to get parent�s StackFrame object.

Create a new console application:

Add namespaces:

Collapse
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;

Create a new static function named WhatsMyName and call it from the Main function.

Collapse
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WhatsMyName();
}
// function to display its name

private static void WhatsMyName()
{
StackFrame stackFrame = new StackFrame();
MethodBase methodBase = stackFrame.GetMethod();
Console.WriteLine(methodBase.Name ); // Displays �WhatsmyName�

WhoCalledMe();
}
// Function to display parent function

private static void WhoCalledMe()
{
StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();
StackFrame stackFrame = stackTrace.GetFrame(1);
MethodBase methodBase = stackFrame.GetMethod();
// Displays �WhatsmyName�

Console.WriteLine( " Parent Method Name {0} ", methodBase.Name );
}

Note: This feature is not available in .NET Compact Framework as StackFrame class is unavailable. For that, you would need to use same old method of manually passing method name to the logging function.

Ariel,

The cryptography in the .NET framework works using byte arrays.
For a similar result, you'll need to convert from string to byte array your
password, hash it, then reconvert the result into a string.

--- Sample ---

using System.Text;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

...

MD5 md = MD5.Create ();
byte[] digest = md.ComputeHash (Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes (password));
string result = Convert.ToBase64String (digest);
