Generics and methods implementation

[Bruno Neves Pires Silva]

Hello, Programmers.

I've got the following problem:I Have a class that uses generics like
above:

class ClassName<typename>
{
public void method(typename var)
{
var.Method2(); //I've got a error here.
}
}

How can I Access Method2 from the class typename ???

Thanks in advance.

You need to include a constraint, or you need to cast the variable.

Note that if the type used as "typename" isn't an interface or a base
class for some other group of classes, then if you find yourself doing
this you may be negating the point of using a generic class. :)
