C# using alias as type parameter in other using alias

Question

I\'m trying to define a pair of type aliases at the top of my C# program. This is a short example of what I\'m trying to do:

using System;
using System.Colle         


        

Answer 1

As others have mentioned, using Alias this way is not possible, however, you can get a similar functionality using class inheritance.

Using your example, you could do something like this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Foo {
    class TsvEntry : Dictionary {}
    class Tsv : List {}
}

This has the additional advantage that you can easily add extra functionality to these classes later on as you need it.
