I'd like to dynamically return a type of object at runtime. &nbsp;It is late-bound, based on a variable set inside the class.<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
Vendor v = ObjectDB.getInstance(int id);<br />
<br />
ObjectDb has a method getInstance() which determines it's return value at runtime, based on a variable &quot;returnValue&quot; inside of itself. &nbsp;In this case, returnValue is set to &quot;Vendor&quot; because I want to return an instance of the Vendor class.<br />
<br />
Can someone show me an example/best practice of how to achieve this?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

I'd like to dynamically return a type of object at runtime.  It is late-bound, based on a variable set inside the class.

For example:

Vendor v = ObjectDB.getInstance(int id);

ObjectDb has a method getInstance() which determines it's return value at runtime, based on a variable "returnValue" inside of itself.  In this case, returnValue is set to "Vendor" because I want to return an instance of the Vendor class.

Can someone show me an example/best practice of how to achieve this?

Thanks.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
