How to make a generic class with inheritance?

Question

How can I make the following code work? I don\'t think I quite understand C# generics. Perhaps, someone can point me in the right direction.

    public abs         


        

Answer 1

you could always do this

List testme = new List().OfType().ToList();

As "Bojan Resnik" pointed out, you could also do...

List testme = new List().Cast().ToList();

A difference to note is that Cast() will fail if one or more of the types does not match. Where OfType() will return an IEnumerable containing only the objects that are convertible
