I am using a Library with a class that have the following constructors:
public JobDataMap(IDictionary<string, object> map);
public JobDataMap(IDictionary map);
I created an instance of JobDataMap:
var jdm = new JobDataMap(new Dictionary<String, Object> {
{ "Manager", myObject }
});
But I am getting the compilation error:
The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties:
'JobDataMap.JobDataMap(IDictionary<string, object>)' and 'JobDataMap.JobDataMap(IDictionary)'
How to solve this?
You can cast it to the type for the constructor you want it to use:
var jdm = new JobDataMap((IDictionary<string, object>) new Dictionary<String, Object> {
{ "Manager", new object() }
});
This design does seem a bit dubious, however...
You can enforce the type being passed like so:
var jdm = new JobDataMap((IDictionary<string, object>)new Dictionary<String, Object> {
{ "Manager", myObject }
});
Or you could make a factory method and make the non-generic constructor (I'm assuming you use this less) private:
public class JobDataMap
{
public JobDataMap(IDictionary<string, object> map)
{
}
private JobDataMap(IDictionary map)
{
}
public static JobDataMap FromNonGenericMap(IDictionary map)
{
return new JobDataMap(map);
}
}
Usage:
var jdm = JobDataMap.FromNonGenericMap(someNonGenericDictionary);
and then you can use the regular generic one like so:
var jdm = new JobDataMap(new Dictionary<String, Object> {
{ "Manager", myObject }
});
