Extension Method

[Dale]

Ive written some extension methods for various UI components for example here is one for the TextBox

 

        public static TextBoxBuilder<T> Width<T>(this TextBoxBuilder<T> builder, int width)
        {
            return builder.HtmlAttributes(new { @style = "width:" + width.ToString() + "px" });
        }

 

However I cant get the syntax correct for the NumericTextBoxBuilder

 

        public static NumericTextBoxBuilder<T> Width<T>(this NumericTextBoxBuilder<T> builder, int width)
        {
            return builder.HtmlAttributes(new { @style = "width:" + width.ToString() + "px" });
        }

 

I get a message The type 'T' must be a non-nullable value type in order to use it as parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'NumericTextBoxBuilder<T>'

 

I could find an example working on google, can anyone assist

Hello Dale,

You need to add constraint in this case

public static NumericTextBoxBuilder<T> Width<T>(this NumericTextBoxBuilder<T> builder, int width) where T:struct
{
    return builder.HtmlAttributes(new { @style = "width:" + width.ToString() + "px" });
}

Constraints on Type Parameters

I hope this helps.

Daniel
