Is it possible to specify a generic type as the type of a method?

Question

C++ / C#

There is a method

public static List<T>(DbContext cntx, string tableName){...}

Can I somehow specify the generic type List[T] in this method. Because it is not known what type of variable the method will return in the future.

Answer 1

Yes. But then sort it out yourself, where will you get this T from.

public static T List<T>(DbContext cntx, string tableName)

In general, it looks like you want to file your own ORM - it's better not to.
