dynamic return type of a function

Question

How can I create a function that will have a dynamic return type based on the parameter type?

Like

protected DynamicType Test(DynamicType type)
{

retur         


        

Answer 1

Whilst the accepted answer is good, it has been over two years since it was written, so, I should add that you can use:

protected dynamic methodname(dynamic input)
{
    return input;
}

Input will be returned as the same type, and you do not need to call the method as a generic.
