Generic Data Types

This page provides comprehensive documentation for generics in .NET.

Introduction

Generics are a fundamental feature of .NET that allow you to write code that can work with various implementations of a type. This promotes code reusability and reduces code duplication.

Data Types

Generics allow you to define types that can be instantiated with various implementations. This is achieved through generics via the Type Generics syntax.

Types & Examples

Let's look at a few examples:

  1. Number1: A generic number type for various integer and floating-point values.
  2. DateTime123: A generic datetime type for different date and time formats.
  3. List: A generic list type that can hold elements of type T.
  4. TException456: A generic exception type for various exception types.

Using Generics

You can use generics to write generic code that works with different types without knowing them in advance. This makes your code more flexible and maintainable.
