Generic type in generic collection
- by Brian Triplett
I have generic type that looks like:
public class GenericClass<T, U> where T : IComparable<T>
{
// Class definition here
}
I then have a collection of these instances. What is the cleanest way to pass through the type constraints?
public class GenericCollection<V> where V : GenericClass<T, U> // This won't compile
{
private GenericClass<T, U>[] entries;
public V this[index]
{
get{ return this.entries[index]; }
}
}
Is there perhaps a better way to design this? I think that specifying
GenericCollection<T, U, V> where V : GenericClass<T, U>
seems awkward. Might be my only option though....
