Hello all

I need some help with generic types. I am in a Web Environment with asp.net 2.0 and C#


This is the Scenario


I am creating an instance of a object derivated from a special collection in that way:

RegionCollection myregioncollection = new RegionCollection().Load();

//load fill the collection with data from a table, each collection represents objects , each object is a row //from the table.


Then I am saving the object into a session to allow other web pages recover the object and then perform some actions.

Session[“mycollection”]= myregioncollection;

NOW I am in other web form and I NEED to recover the object saved in session like this;

? Mylocalcollection;
Mylocalcollection = Session[“mycollection”];

?= the type I don’t know.

BUT, I need first to declare the type of Mylocalcollection which is unknown, since I can have several types of object saved into the session (each table of my system represents a type). If I don’t know the type I can not initialize my local object.

How can I solve this situation with generics or whatever.

Note: This is solved in C# with the type VAR, but for now I am in C# 2
