Rod, I know nothing of, and have read nothing on, generics so this looks
very interesting to me.


I was in the same boat as you until a few days ago when I found a very
thorough and understandable explanation in a chapter titled 'Generics' from
the book 'Essential C# 2.0" by Mark Michaelis. You can download a copy of
the whole chapter from:

http://mark.michaelis.net/essentialcsharp/

For those who are familiar with the similar, but different, feature of
templates (e.g. as in C++), this document does a good job of highlighting
the differences between them.

I'd be interested to know if Win32 D2007 is going to include all of the
Generics features detailed in this chapter or just a subset? There may well
be some aspects that are not applicable to Win32 - I don't know.
