我可以在没有指定类型的情况下从泛型类继承吗?

我在VB.NET控制台应用程序中有以下示例代码。它编译和工作,但感觉像一个黑客。有没有办法定义EmptyChild,以便它继承Intermediate(Of T As Class)而不使用虚拟EmptyClass?

Module Module1
Sub Main()

    Dim Child1 = New RealChild()
    Child1.Content = New RealClass()
    Dim Child2 = New EmptyChild()

    Console.WriteLine("RealChild says: " & Child1.Test)
    Console.WriteLine("EmptyChild says: " & Child2.Test)
    Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

Public Class EmptyClass

End Class

Public Class RealClass

    Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
        Return "This is the RealClass"
    End Function

End Class

Public MustInherit Class Base(Of T As Class)

    Private _content As T = Nothing
    Public Property Content() As T
        Get
            Return _content
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As T)
            _content = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Public Overridable Function Test() As String
        If Me._content IsNot Nothing Then
            Return Me._content.ToString
        Else
            Return "Content not initialized."
        End If
    End Function

End Class

Public MustInherit Class Intermediate(Of T As Class)
    Inherits Base(Of T)

    'some methods/properties here needed by Child classes

End Class

Public Class RealChild
    Inherits Intermediate(Of RealClass)

    'This class needs all functionality from Intermediate.

End Class

Public Class EmptyChild
    Inherits Intermediate(Of EmptyClass)

    'This class needs some functionality from Intermediate,
    ' but not the Content as T property.

    Public Overrides Function Test() As String
        Return "We don't care about Content property or Type T here."
    End Function

End Class
End Module

另一种方法是将通用代码移出Base类,然后创建2个这样的中间类:

Public MustInherit Class Intermediate
    Inherits Base

    'some methods/properties here needed by Child classes

End Class

Public MustInherit Class Intermediate(Of T As Class)
    Inherits Intermediate

    'implement generic Content property here

End Class

然后RealChild将继承通用的Intermediate,而EmptyChild将继承自非通用的Intermediate。我的解决方案的问题是Base类在一个单独的程序集中,我需要保留处理该程序集中的泛型类型的代码。并且Intermediate类中的功能不属于具有Base类的程序集。

是的,您需要在继承时指定类型参数,或者您的EmptyChild也必须是通用的。但是,您不必假设一个EmptyClass - 只需使用Object作为您的类型参数:

 Public Class EmptyClass
    Inherits Intermediate(Of Object)
 End Class
