c# - Generic Class:: Type Parameter <T> Property Inheritance -

my code:

class classx; class class2 : classx; class class3 : classx; 

class2 , class3 have no association each other whatsoever, except them sharing same base class. class2 , class3 don't share same properties, data types or amount of properties.

now, want able is:

class class<t> : t;  static void main() {     class<class2> foo = new class<class2>();     foo.class2_property = value;      console.read(); } 

i'm aware code not possible, there work around?

in c++, can use operator overload so:

public : operator return_data_type const;     

thanks in advance.

ps: opened question right here, wasn't how ask question, now. left open in-case finds answer question through answers i've gotten.

edit #1:

i've got packet class has shared packet properties , methods, , different packets have own header , different content. i'm changing packet system. want packet packetclass name of specific packet, example logininfo. logininfo class contain properties:

public packetheader header; public string username; public string password; 

therefore:

    packet<logininfo> foo = new packet<logininfo>();     foo.username = "user";     byte[] buf = foo.toarray(); // part of packet<t> class 

that's meant each class has it's own properties. hope gives got idea of i'm trying do.

you want rethink implementation, isn't c# designed do. can hacky things make work, it's not pretty:

class class<t> t : new() {     public t value = new t(); } 

this creates 'container' 'base' type, relying on constraint type t must have parameterless constructor.

then can do:

class classx {}  class class2 : classx  {      public int test = 10; } 

then can consume fake 'derived' class this:

class<class2> foo = new class<class2>(); var test = foo.value.test; 

you have make fields you're interested in on class2 public work.
