Chapter 6: Generics

In the previous chapter, we learned about OOP in C#. In this chapter, we will explore the concept of generics. Generics allow us to create classes, structures, interfaces, methods, and delegates in such a manner that they will work in a type-safe environment with different data types. Generics were added as a part of the C# 2.0 release. It promotes code reusability and extensibility and is one of the most powerful features of C#.

We will learn about the following concepts in this chapter:

Generic classes and generic inheritance
Generic interfaces and variant generic interfaces
Generic structures
Generic methods
Type constraints

By the end of this chapter, you will have gained the skills necessary to write generic types, methods, and variant generic interfaces and to use type constraints.
