Abstract
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for assigning type parameters. Embodiments of the invention permit using a visual editor to edit arbitrary object instances in a graphical fashion. Instances of generic types can be manipulated to change the type parameters for that generic (to be able to change a List<Customer> to a List<Product>, for instance). Values are preserved and data can be patched to other dependent nodes in an object hierarchy.
