anonymous types and generics
c#
Solution
`usersQuery` is being typed as the non-generic `IQueryable` because you explicitly specify that in the variable's declaration.
Instead, do `var usersQuery = ...`. This will type the variable as `IQueryable<TAnon>`, which then matches the signature of `ArrayStoreGenerator.CreateInstance`.
Problem
I cannot find a way to pass an anonymous type to a generic class as a type parameter. // this is the class I want to instantiate ``` public class ExtArrayStore<T> : IViewComponent { public IQueryable<T> Data { get; set; } ``` ... // the creator class ``` public static class ArrayStoreGenerator { public static ExtArrayStore<T> CreateInstance<T>(IQueryable<T> query) { return new ExtArrayStore<T>(); } } ``` // trying to use this ``` IQueryable usersQuery= ((from k in bo.usersselect new { userid = k.userid, k.username}).AsQueryable()); var x = ArrayStoreGenerator.CreateInstance(usersQuery); ``` I am getting; The type arguments for method ArrayStoreGenerator.CreateInstance(System.Linq.IQueryable)' cannot be inferred from the usage. Try specifying the type arguments explicitly Is there a way to achieve this? ( I am thinking of Interfaces and returning an interface, but not sure if it would work) can any one help with passing anon types to generics.
