How to do recursive call of a generic T type param method?

Question

How to do recursive call of a function having generic type parameter? for example: public T Deserialize(string json) { //// How can I do recursive call here? where type T is dynamic here. } Let a class Student public class Student { public Name FullName {get; set;} public int RollNo {get; set;} } public class Name { public string FirstName {get; set;} public string LastName {get; set;} } Now calling method: Deserialize(json)here how can I do recursive call to deserialize object Name.

public static T Deserialize (string json) where T : class , new () { //Some logic var obj = default (T); foreach (var ss in splitdata) { var sp2 = ss.Split( ':' ); if (obj.GetType().GetProperty(sp2[0]).PropertyType == typeof( bool )) { obj.GetType().GetProperty(sp2[0]).SetValue(obj, bool .Parse(sp2[1])); } else if (obj.GetType().GetProperty(sp2[0]).PropertyType == typeof( double )) { obj.GetType().GetProperty(sp2[0]).SetValue(obj, double .Parse(sp2[1])); } else if (obj.GetType().GetProperty(sp2[0]).PropertyType == typeof(object)) { /// Here i want to do recursive call. How can i do that? /// var innerobj = Deserialize (sp2[1]); obj.GetType().GetProperty(sp2[0]).SetValue(obj, innerobj ); } } return obj; } What to write in place of ???? in code?

You don't do anything for that. Just pass the parent object. The deserailization process takes care of everything inside as well. That is not your headache. However, you should have all class structure defined, though!

Try the following code public T Deserialize ( string json) where T : class , new () { return default (T); }
