How can i make use of Generics in this case? Public Function getEntityData(ByVal EntityName As String, ByVal EntityKeyValue As String) As Object I declared a Function as: Public Function testgetSTEntityData(Of AnyVOType As {New}) (ByVal EntityName As String, ByVal EntityKeyValue As String) As AnyVOType Am wanting to return an object of any Custom classe's that I have declared but am not able to do so and am getting design time error: Value of Type "some custom class" cannot be converted to AnyVOType. Can generics be used in this scenario ? Great Article! however I am still struggling to implement it for below scenario:
I have function that returns an object to any of the defined custom classes. How can i make use of Generics in this case?

Public Function getEntityData(ByVal EntityName As String, ByVal EntityKeyValue As String) As Object

I declared a Function as:
Public Function testgetSTEntityData(Of AnyVOType As {New}) (ByVal EntityName As String, ByVal EntityKeyValue As String) As AnyVOType

Am wanting to return an object of any Custom classe’s that I have declared but am not able to do so and am getting design time error: Value of Type “some custom class” cannot be converted to AnyVOType.

Can generics be used in this scenario ?

I figured out how to create generic functions and have been using them in my applications now. Nevertheless, I will still hold on to this article.

I've been using generics for a while, in the manner that you mention (Lists, etc.) but never as a function. Quite an eye opener, and the power of this is super appealing! Your article totally covers everything about this feature, thanks much! This is as clear and thorough of an explanation as I have ever seen.
