Using a generic model in ASP.NET MVC Razor

Question

Is it possible to use a generic model in ASP.NET MVC 3 (w/ Razor)? The following fails with a syntax error:

@model DtoViewModel where T : IDto
         


        

Answer 1

given that @model is expecting a type - not a type declaration you could use:

@model DtoViewModel

and take advantage of generic covariance
