How to pass class name to DeserializeObject which i will get at runtime in string c#

I have to call below method which has 2 parameter

public static byte readdata(string classtype, string msg)

{

    Encoding encoding = new System.Text.UTF8Encoding();

    string header = $"{classtype},{Guid.NewGuid().ToString()}";



    byte headerBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(header);



    var test = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<classtype>(msg);

i want to pass classtype to method DeserializeObject which i will get at runtime.

but parameter is generic i may get ClassA or ClassB or ClassC so how can i call method and pass generic class name which i'm getting it into string value?

readdata("ClassA" , "testmessage");

You used the generic tag so why not a generic rather than passing a string?

when the type ClassA is in scope of readdata, then it may be in scope of callers of readdata too, so why not pass the type instead of a string? If it must be a string, you can use nameof(ClassA). To obtain a type from a string, look into reflection, for example here

Then according to your last comment it is a possible duplicate of Getting a System.Type from type's partial name

Not sure what you are trying but should not this work:

readdata(nameof(ClassA), "");

readdata(nameof(ClassB), "");

...

You could use the following overload JsonConvert.DeserializeObject

var test = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(msg, Type.GetType("namespace.qualified.ClassA"));

Assuming you are passing generic type parameters - here is what you can try:

public static void readdata(string classtype, string msg)

{

    ///... your stuff

}



static void SendType<T>()

{

    readdata(typeof(T).Name, "");

}



static void Main(string args)

{

    SendType<ClassA>();

    SendType<ClassB>();

    SendType<ClassC>();

}

But i am not sure if the above will still solve your problem, you should try:

public static byte readdata<T>(string msg)

{

    //Your code

    var test = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(msg);

}

Calling statement:

readdata<ClassA>("Some message");

readdata<ClassB>("Some message");

readdata<ClassC>("Some message");

Suggest to read the following Type.GetType(“namespace.a.b.ClassName”) returns null
