Creating meaningful parameter names with Generics

.net, generics

Solution

As far as I know, there is no way of achieving this automatically. However, if you really wanted to do it anyway, you could make the method `virtual` in `BaseService`, and override it in each subclass:

public override Product Create(Product product) {
    return base.Create(product);
}

Problem

I'm hoping there's some clever way to do this. I have a generic base service that has several methods... So currently there are some methods in this base class like Create(T obj). What I'd like is for the compiler to create a more intuitive parameter name (based off of some rule) so that when a concrete instance of the base service is created like this: ``` public class ProductService : BaseService<Product> ``` I want it to compile the ProductService method to this (for example): ``` public Product Create(Product product) ``` instead of ``` public Product Create(Product obj) ``` I know it sounds minor but an intern asked me the other day and I couldn't tell him 100% sure that it wasn't possible.
