Generics authored in one .NET language may be used in other .NET languages. Unlike templates, a generic in a compiled assembly still remains generic. Thus, one may instantiate the generic type in a different assembly and even in a different language than the assembly in which the generic type was defined.
Example
Description
This example shows a generic class defined in C#.
Code
