Generic and specific refer to the identification of a fact. Specific means a fact that has been specified. If you ask for (specify) a pain reliever, aspirin would be a specific pain reliever, while aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and naproxen together would be generic pain relievers.Wed, 01 Apr 2026 07:34:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/982952/c-sharp-generics-and-type-checkingIn case you happen to have a generic method that returns a generic value but doesn't have generic parameters, you can use default(T) + (T)(object) cast, together with C# 8 pattern matching/type checks (as indicated in the other recent answers).Wed, 01 Apr 2026 23:05:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/2144495/creating-a-generic-method-in-c-sharpI am trying to combine a bunch of similar methods into a generic method. I have several methods that return the value of a querystring, or null if that querystring does not exist or is not in theThu, 02 Apr 2026 22:21:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/1099440/how-do-you-provide-a-default-type-for-genericsThe generic parameter type will be the same for all methods, so I would like it at the class level. I know I could make a generic version and then inherit from it for the int version, but I was just hoping to get it all in one... but I didn't know of any way to do that.Sun, 29 Mar 2026 20:52:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/19138991/using-listt-in-c-sharp-genericsThat's not how generics work. MyMethod(List<T> list) is an invalid method signature (unless your class is a generic class with a Type Parameter T)Thu, 02 Apr 2026 17:20:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/6480577/how-to-compare-values-of-generic-typesSo, two questions: Why do we observe this weird behaviour? What keeps us from comparing the values of generic types which are known to be IComparable? Doesn't it somehow defeat the entire purpose of generic constraints? How do I resolve this, or at least work around it?Thu, 02 Apr 2026 22:21:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/12578965/how-can-i-pass-in-a-func-with-a-generic-type-parameterI like to send a generic type converter function to a method but I can't figure out how to do it. Here's invalid syntax that explains what I like to achieve, the problem is I don't know how to spe...Thu, 02 Apr 2026 17:34:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/11318973/void-in-c-sharp-genericsIn particular, we wouldn't need both the Func<T> and Action<T> families - there'd just be Func<void> instead of Action, Func<T, void> instead of Action<T> etc. It would also make async simpler - there'd be no need for the non-generic Task type at all - we'd just have Task<void>. Unfortunately, that's not the way the C# or .NET type systems work...Thu, 02 Apr 2026 17:41:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/19831157/c-sharp-generic-type-constraint-for-everything-nullableThe first suggestion using is perfect! Now my template with a generic type being returned can return a null for objects and the default value for built-in types.Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:12:00 GMThttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/2581642/how-do-i-get-the-type-name-of-a-generic-type-argumentThis extension method outputs the simple type name for non-generic types, and appends the list of generic arguments for generic types. This works fine for scenarios where you don't need to worry about inner generic arguments, like IDictionary<int, IDictionary<int, string>>.Wed, 01 Apr 2026 18:11:00 GMT
