I have a bunch of code doing the same thing but with just a few changes... Sounds like a great option for building a method to do the work for all of them. I need to use a class name and couldn't find anything simular enough to think I should try it - this was the closest How to use class name as parameter in C#
My classes ImportUserNotificationListModel implement interfaces with generics that have caused me a few issues in some other areas so this might be a bit harder because of that.
public class ImportNotificationRoleListModel : IImportListBase, IImportListDatabaseCalls and
public class ImportUserNotificationListModel : IImportListBase, IImportListDatabaseCalls here is the code I wish to not duplicate:
private static bool SaveUserNotification(XDocument xdoc, int importID, SqlConnection cn, SqlTransaction tran) { try {
var SourceInfo = xdoc.Root.Element("UserNotifications").ToString(); XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ImportUserNotificationListModel)); using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(SourceInfo)) { ImportUserNotificationListModel Listresult = (ImportUserNotificationListModel)serializer.Deserialize(reader); foreach (ImportUserNotificationModel lim in Listresult.ImportItems) { Listresult.SaveImportToDatabase(lim, importID, cn, tran); } return true; } } catch (Exception e) { Console.Write(e.Message); } return false; }Here is the copy (I have about 12 that do this)
private static bool SaveNotificationRoles(XDocument xdoc, int importID, SqlConnection cn, SqlTransaction tran) { try { var SourceInfo = xdoc.Root.Element("NotificationRoles").ToString(); XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ImportNotificationRoleListModel)); using (TextReader reader = new StringReader(SourceInfo)) { ImportNotificationRoleListModel Listresult = (ImportNotificationRoleListModel)serializer.Deserialize(reader); foreach (ImportNotificationRoleModel lim in Listresult.ImportItems) { Listresult.SaveImportToDatabase(lim, importID, cn, tran); } return true; } } catch (Exception e) { Console.Write(e.Message); } return false; }
