How to pass generic object as parameter in c#?

Karan Thakkar

I wan to call a method from two diffrent method, but the object which I want to pass is different in both the methods. lets assume an example below.

Public string GetCarDetails(Car carObj)

{

string price=GetCarPrice(carObj);

return price;

}

Public string GetBikePrice(Bike bikeObj)

{

VechileDetails obj = new VechileDetails()

string price=obj.GetBikePrice(bikeObj);

return price;

}

I want to create GetBikePrice method in VechileDetails class which can accept both the object car and bike.

I hope you guys got my problem.

Thanks.

Hello Karan,

can you please used below code for your requirement.

using System;
public class Car
{
public string Name {get; set;}
}
public class Bike
{
public string Name {get;set;}
}
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
var car = new Car()
{
Name = "BMW"
};
Console.WriteLine(GetBikeRate(car));
var bike = new Bike()
{
Name = "Splendor"
};
Console.WriteLine(GetBikeRate(bike));
}

private static decimal GetBikeRate(object obj)
{
if(obj.GetType().Name == "Car")
{
return 350M;
}
else if (obj.GetType().Name == "Bike")
{
return 150M;
}

return 0M;
}
}

let me know if you needed any other help from myside.

you can achive this scenario using inteface

public interface IVehicle
{
int GetPrice();
}
public class Bike : IVehicle
{
      public int GetPrice()
      {
            Console.Write("Bike price:" + 1000);
            return 1000;
      }
}
public class Car : IVehicle
{
      public int GetPrice()
      {
            Console.Write("Bike price:" + 2000);
            return 2000;
      }
}
public class VehicleDetails
{
         public int GetPrice(IVehicle obj)
         {
               return obj.GetPrice();
         }
}

//call method inside main class
public void main(){

      VehicleDetails obj = new VehicleDetails();
      var i = obj.GetPrice(new Car());
      var j = obj.GetPrice(new Bike());
}

first create a class like bellow.

public class GenericModel
{
public Car carobject {get;set;}
public Bike bikeobject {get;set;}
}

public class Car
{
public string car_name {get;set;}
}

public class bike
{
public string bike_name {get;set;}
}

while calling a method.

public GenericModel VechileDetails ()
{
create object for GenericModel class like
GenericModel obj=new GenericModel ();
write your logic here
return obj;
}

any doubts ping me , if it helps please accept the answer.

Hi,
This is something that I can suggest you.
Create a class Vehical. and add property called as Category. In that property you can set as Bike/Car.
And other properties can be same.

so you can make it generic class of vehical.
