Forum ‹ C# ‹ Dynamically create instance of a class.

[Vania]

Stackoverflow recommended something like this:

void someMethod(Type t)
{
object myInstance = (t.GetConstructor(null)).Invoke(null)
}

or like this:

void someMethod<T>(T type) where T : new()
{
object myInstance = new T();
}

but none of these methods work because they use classes forbidden by playerio.
Anyone know some way to do this that is compatible with playerio?

Hey,

Reflection is not allowed in Player.IO code. What are you trying to accomplish? Can you give some more context?

Best,
Oliver

I was just trying to write a bytearray serializer,
the serializer would read an Integer which tells it the type of the object that's coming next, then uses that type to look into a Hashtable for the appropiate class. Then it would create a new instance of that class and initialize it ( the class implements an interface to provide the serialization methods )

Will you really have that many different types of objects? I'd just make a switch statement and hardcode each class in there.

Slightly unrelated, this is a seriaizer/deserializer for primitives that we're using: http://code.google.com/p/beitmemcached/ ... ializer.cs
