Getting behavior of Java's Class<? extends Map> in .NET

Question

I have a generic class in java defined as:

public static class KeyCountMap 
{
   private Map map = new LinkedHashMap

        

Answer 1

Maybe this is what you want?

public class KeyCountMap
    where T : new()
{
    private Dictionary map = new Dictionary();
    // ... rest of properties...  

    public KeyCountMap()
    { }

    public KeyCountMap(T obj)
    {
        obj = new T();
        map = (Dictionary)(object)obj;
    }
}
