Thanks for the info. Can it be done (at all, at the moment, elegantly, practically, by turning a std::type_info into a type) ? On 30 January 2010 19:58, Steven Watanabe <watanabesj@gmail.com> wrote:

Firstly. Thank you very much team Boost, it looks like it will be very useful and solve many of my coding problems.
I can create an any boost::any a1;
I can assign something to it a1 = string1;
I can get it back out later std::cout<<any_cast<std::string>(a1);
A boost any has a "type()" method.
However this produced an error.
std::cout<<any_cast<a1.type()>(a1);
Template parameters have to be types. The result of a1.type() is a std::type_info object.
In Christ, Steven Watanabe
