Generics with Generic Parameters and Abstract class

Question

I\'ve got two generic base classes. The second generic class has a constraint on its parameter of the first class.

abstract class FirstClass {...}
         


        

Answer 1

In my experience it is easiest to create non-generic interface to generic classes. It also solves the problem when you need to cast to the base class without knowing the generic type.

interface IFirstClass {...}

abstract class FirstClass : IFirstClass {...}

abstract class SecondClass where T : IFirstClass {...}
