.NET 2.0 Generics Support

From the version 1.3.5 and foward the FileHelpers supports the use of Generics for the Engines.

The names of the classes are the same that without generics, then you can use both:

C# 2.0

// Standard Way FileHelperEngine engine = new FileHelperEngine(typeof(Customers)); // Generics Way FileHelperEngine<Customers> engine = new FileHelperEngine<Customers>();

VB.NET 2.0

' Standard Way Dim engine As New FileHelperEngine(GetType(Customers)) ' Generics Way Dim engine As New FileHelperEngine(Of Customers)()

The main diference is that you donīt need to cast the engine results:

// Standard Way Customers[] res = (Customers[]) engine.ReadFile("File.txt"); // Generics Way Customers[] res = engine.ReadFile("File.txt");
