Generics - when?

[John Sparrow]

After reading all the info about Generics in C#, when are we going to get
them? Is this something planned for the Longhorn release, or sooner?

Thanks,

John

Hello,

Generics are not specific for Longhorn, and we will get it in the next
release of .NET Framwork. This should be the same time Visual Studio .NET
Whidbey is released, sometime next year.

I believe generics are supposed to be introduced with the next Major version
of the framework, something like Q4 2004 if I remember correctly

John, if you want them now you can get them in Gyro, which is a part of the
MS Shared Source CLI. You can find it here:
