I am building a generic data mapper factory and would like any feedback on the following snippet which would represent the mapper factory.
In the code below, MyEntity is a custom entity that is hyrdated by the MyEntityMapper which implements IDataMapper<T> (constructing T as MyEntity in the implementation). The client would call the method as follows:
IDataMapper<MyEntity> mapper;mapper =
DataMapper.GetMapper<MyEntity>(); MyEntity entity = mapper.FindSingle<int>(5);Specifically, I am interested in any concerns around the way I determine the type of T, and, if the resulting API could be any cleaner or more efficient:
public static IDataMapper<T> GetMapper<T>() where T: new()
{
T m_type =
new T(); if (m_type is MyEntity){
IDataMapper<MyEntity> map = new MyEntityMapper(); return (IDataMapper<T>) map;}
return (IDataMapper<T>) null;}
Many thanks.

What though does FindSingle do exactly The fact that I'm asking might mean that it isn't as intuitive as you want

Hi, Rick
If you could explain the purpose of your code and what the MyEntity is, we can give comments on your code.
Thank you
