StaticGenericClass

Summary

Move type parameters from the static class to its methods if possible.

Default severity

Warning

Description

Replace Class<T>.Method() with Class.Method<T>() so that the data type of the type parameter T can be inferred from the argument or return value.

Code fix

The code fix provides an option moving the type parameters from the static class to its methods.

Example

Diagnostic

/// <summary>Class Summary.</summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Type parameter.</typeparam>
public static class Code<T> where T : class
{
    /// <summary>Method summary.</summary>
    /// <param name="instance">Parameter.</param>
    public static void Method(T instance)
    {
        ⋮
    }
}

public class AnotherClass
{
    public void AnotherMethod()
    {
        Code<string>.Method("...");
    }
}

Code fix

/// <summary>Class Summary.</summary>
public static class Code
{
    /// <summary>Method summary.</summary>
    /// <param name="instance">Parameter.</param>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type parameter.</typeparam>
    public static void Method<T>(T instance) where T : class
    {
        ⋮
    }
}

public class AnotherClass
{
    public void AnotherMethod()
    {
        Code.Method("...");
    }
}
