Create object that inherit the interface

Question

I have two model interface ILoanModel and IAmortizationModel.

public interface ILoanModel
{
    string ID { get; set; }
    IEmployeeModel Borrower { get; set; }
    // ******* other propeties *********
    ICollection<Model.IAmortizationModel> AmortizationTable { get; set; }
}

public interface IAmortizationModel
{
    string ID { get; set; }
    ILoanModel Loan { get; set; }
    // ******* other propeties *********
}

I create another interface that will handle the computation and other function

public interface IAmortization
{
    // Compute and generate amortization table
    Model.ILoanModel Generate(Model.ILoanModel loan);
    // **** Other function *****
}

Currently I have 3 type of loans and all them have same way of computation and generation of amortization table.

public abstract class Amortization : Controller.Computation.Interface.IAmortization
{
    public virtual Model.ILoanModel Generate(Model.ILoanModel loan)
    {
        // **** other code *******
        //Create the amortization table
        decimal last_Amortization_RunningBalance = loan.Amount;
        loan.AmortizationTable = new List<Model.IAmortizationModel>();

        for (int x = 1; loan.NumberOfPayment >= x; x++)
        {
            // having problem here because Model.IAmortizationModel is a interface
            var newAmortizationRow = new Model.IAmortizationModel
            {
                ID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
                AmortizationAmount = loan.AmortizationPaymentAmount,
                AmortizationInterest = loan.AmortizationPaymentAmount* loan.Nominal,
                AmortizationPrepayment = 
                    loan.AmortizationPaymentAmount 
                    - (loan.AmortizationPaymentAmount * loan.Nominal),
                AmortizationOutstandingBalance = 
                    last_Amortization_RunningBalance 
                    - (loan.AmortizationPaymentAmount 
                        - (loan.AmortizationPaymentAmount * loan.Nominal)),
                Sequence = x
            };

            last_Amortization_RunningBalance -= 
                newAmortizationRow.AmortizationOutstandingBalance;
            loan.AmortizationTable.Add(newAmortizationRow);
        }
    }
}

My problem now is generating new IAmortizationModel that will be added to the loan.AmortizationTable. How can I get the type of loan.AmortizationTable and create?

Answer 1

One option would be to make it generic and add a generic constraint with new():

public virtual Model.ILoanModel Generate<T>(Model.ILoanModel loan)
   where T:IAmortizationModel, new()

and then call new T()

An alternative option would be to pass a generator function:

public virtual Model.ILoanModel Generate(Model.ILoanModel loan,
  Func<IAmortizationModel> generator)

and call generator()
