C# generics

[Guest]

As we know, C# does not support templates; instead it will support C# generics.
I think it’s about to be published with the .NET 2.0.
Can anybody tell me when these generics will be out for use?

Sharon,

No one can say really, as MS hasn't announced a release date. The
logical guess is sometime in 2005 (hence the name VS.NET 2005). Anyone that
tells you otherwise is probably lying.

Yes, Generics are definitely in .NET 2.0.

However, you can get access to the beta framework now, for free. Check
out the framework downloads page on MSDN.

Also, if you are a MSDN universal subscriber, you can get a beta of
VS.NET 2005 as well.

Hope this helps.

With .NET 2.0, which will be released at the same time as VS.NET 2005 -
probably mid-2005. You can download the beta of the framework (and
VS.NET 2005 if you have an appropriate MSDN subscription) now though.
