#542 – Conventions for Naming Type Parameters
You can name type parameters in generic classes and generic methods anything you like. But you should typically follow the following naming conventions for naming type parameters: Use a short...

#545 – Specifying Constraints for More than One Type Parameter
When specifying constraints for type parameters in a generic class, you can specify constraints for more than one parameter. To specify more than one constraint, just place each constraint on a...

#547 – Things That Can Serve as Type Parameter Constraints
A constraint on a type parameter is often a base class or interface, but can actually take on a number of different forms. A constraint can be a class type: // Type parameter can be some subclass of...

#548 – No More Than One Class for a Type Parameter Constraint
When specifying constraints for a type parameter in a generic class, you can specify at most one class as a constraint, but you can specify one or more interfaces. If one of the constraints is a...

#1,027 – Type Parameters vs. Type Arguments in a Generic Class
A generic class is a class that takes one or more type parameters, which it then uses in the definition of the class. It can be thought of as a template for a class. Type parameters are used in the...

#1,035 – Summary of Type Parameter Constraints
Here’s a quick summary of the different types of constraints that you can apply to type parameters: Require parameter’s type to derive from a specified class: where T : [base-class] Require parameter’s...

#1,064 – Getting Around Inability to Explicitly Convert Type Parameters
You can’t explicitly convert a type parameter to either a value type or a reference type (you can convert to an interface). To get around this restriction, you can use the as operator on the type...
