Boost programming productivity: Define re-usable algorithms with interfaces and generics in CLR and C# 2.0

Generics, a new feature in version 2.0 of the C# language and the common language runtime (CLR), has the power to make programmers extremely productive via code and algorithm re-use. Generics also provides the following big benefits to developers: source code protection; type safety; cleaner code; and better performance. Discover how to define and employ re-usable algorithms with interfaces and generics in this sample chapter from CLR via C#. The chapter offers hands-on instruction, extensive code C# code samples, and covers:

• Generics in the Framework Class Library
• Wintellect's Power Collections Library
• Generics Infrastructure
• Generic Interfaces
• Generic Delegates
• Generic Methods
• Generics and Other Members
• Verifiability and Constraints
