Cast generic type parameter to a specific type in C#

Question

If you need to cast a generic type parameter to a specific type we can cast it to a object and do the casting like below,

void SomeMethod(T t)
{
    SomeClas         


        

Answer 1

Using as:

SomeClass obj2 = t as SomeClass;

This would not throw an exception and t would be null if the cast fails.

I don't really know what you're trying to do, but I hope that you're not missing the point of Generics here.

If your intention is to restrict the method to type SomeClass and descendants:

void SomeMethod(T t)  where T : SomeClass
