[SpecFlow] Define a way to initialize Binding/Step Class to be Generic

In order to implement good coding practices around SOLID principles and clean coding having a generic step/Binding Class would help.

For every scenario the Binding Class is initialized but there is no way to make them a generic class, having this feature will allow us to create extendable steps files.

  Could you elaborate a little bit more what you are suggesting here? 

  What is for you a generic step/binding class?

  Andreas Willich thanks for looking at this.

  For each scenario specflow instantiate the [Binding] class. I wanted a way to have some control over initiation of these classes so that I can make them  generic class. I want to write something like following 

  [Binding]
  public class ProcessPortfolio<T>
  {
         private IPortfolio<T> Portfolio{get; set;}
         [Given("The Portfolio is of Type (.*)")]
         public void GivenTheFirstNumberIs(int type)
         {
              Portfolio.TypeId = type;
          }
  }

  I wanted some control over initiating ProcessPortfolio class based on may be feature/feature Tag/Scenario Tag or other means of transforming the type of <T>.

  This would enable me to write my steps only once and bases on portfolio I could reuse the steps.
