nested generic class

[puzzlecracker]

How will this actually work:

public class Foo<T>
{

public class Bar<T>
{
private T t;

}
}
public class Test
{
public static void Main(string []args)
{
Foo<intfoo=new Foo<int>(); ///???

}
}
will this cause the nested Bar class, at run time, to become closed
time using int?

Becoming something like this:

public class Foo<int>
{

public class Bar<int>
{
private T t;

}
}

Thanks

Looks like another great opportunity for you to fire up Visual Studio and
try it yourself.

If after doing that you have some specific question about what _does_
happen, that would be a question worth answering.

Well you haven't referred to a nested Bar class at all. However, Bar
defines its own type parameter, which hides Foo's. They're separate
type parameters though.

In other words, you can specify Foo<string>.Bar<int>.

For further nested generic type weirdness, see this post from Cyrus:
