Generics Question

[sloan]

I think someone posted about this before.


Outside of collection type stuff, what are possible uses of a Generic.
(Again, I'm cool with the collection type stuff).


Thanks.............

Hello sloan,

Well, for one thing you can use it to write really Generic questions...
*hint*

Generally, everywhere you can implement functionality independent of
types, you may want to consider using Generics.

Just some examples:
delegates or interfaces for comperison or conversion;
a typed version of the WeakReference (wich had to be provided by the
runtime.)

Gotcha.


a typed version of the WeakReference (wich had to be provided by the

runtime.)

Perfect.


Thanks.
