    }
    
    public T Register<T>(string name, Dictionary<string, object> registryList, T config) where T : B {

Guys how can i call a non static method in a interface?

thinker2272/20/2023

You can't™️

MrScautHD2/20/2023

ouff

thinker2272/20/2023

That method comes from the interface, not the type ConfigRegistry itself

MrScautHD2/20/2023

yea but i extend from it

thinker2272/20/2023

And in general you shouldn't do this in interfaces, an interface should be a contract and nothing else

thinker2272/20/2023

and also you can just shorten the definition of Initialize to

void Initialize();

MrScautHD2/20/2023

oh yea thx

thinker2272/20/2023

What you could do is have an abstract class RegistryBase<B> which implements the interface and defines the Register method

MrScautHD2/20/2023

ah yea

MrScautHD2/20/2023

good idea

MrScautHD2/20/2023

btw

MrScautHD2/20/2023

i not want that Initialize need added

MrScautHD2/20/2023

just as a option

thinker2272/20/2023

MrScautHD2/20/2023

is it possible without body?

thinker2272/20/2023

well, sure, then you could give it an empty body

MrScautHD2/20/2023

like small how you did it?

MrScautHD2/20/2023

yea well

thinker2272/20/2023

void Initialize() {}
