I don't understand why because the Dictionary is defined to accept a

List<Action<object>>

. So the 2 lines above should work,
right?
 
What am I doing wrong here?

private Dictionary<Type, List<Action<object>>> internalList;

Except that you can't define
 

private Dictionary<Type, List<Action<object>>> internalList;

 
with a generic. So what's the right way to do this?

private Dictionary<Type, List<Action<T>>> _dict = new Dictionary<Type, List<Action<T>>>();

class MainStorageClass {
 Dictionary<Type, BaseRegistry> registries;

 public void Register<T>(Action<T> callback) {
    Type messageType = typeof(T);
    Registry<T> registry;
 
    if (registries == null)
    {
        registries = new Dictionary<Type, BaseRegistry>();
    }
 
    if (!registries.ContainsKey(messageType))
    {
        registry = new Registry<T>();
        internalList.Add(messageType, registry);
    }
    else
    {
        registry = internalList[messageType];
    }
 
    registry.Actions.Add(callback);
 }
   

 private abstract class BaseRegistry {}
 private class Registry<T> : BaseRegistry {
  internal List<Action<T>> Actions { get; private set; }

  internal Registry() { Actions = new List<Action<T>>(); }
 }
}

public List<Action<T>> Find<T>(){
 if(registries == null) return null;
 BaseRegistry registry;
 if(!registries.TryGetValue(typeof(T), out registry)) return null;
 return (registry as Registry<T>).Actions;
}

//I happen to know that this is only used by  a total of two DropDownList, I just need to know which "one" called it at runtime. If it were used by more DropDownLists, a switch would be appropriate, and if my more than one type, then additional measures would need to be taken to explicitly cast.

Are all strings just byte arrays with terminating 0's?
