System.IComparable<T>

Hello!¨

I read a book and here it says that it's most often an advantage to
implement the generic interface IComparable<T>
instead of the general interface IComparable. This is correct!

Now to my question this book also say that both interfaces can be
implemented something that some of the types in .NET does.

I can't see any point in implementing both interfaces?? Can you ??

Yes; it means that anything that doesn't know about the generic side
(ArrayList, or a data-grid) can still sort the data.
