Partial Generics in C#

Question

Hello Team,

This may sound dumb, but not sure if we've any ability to implement Partial Generics in C#. Like, instead of defining a class to be generic, I would like to define a class partial generic. I dont find a way doing this. Am I missing something obvious here or do I have not enough understanding on how Generics are defined.

I was trying to implement class something like this.

public class MyUtilClass<T<MyWellKnownBase>>
{

}

or something like

public class MyUtilClass<MyWellKnownBase<T>>
{

}

This would give me a flexibility to define partial implementation in my util class rather than fully making the class generic of type T.

This should help

           public class MyUtilClass<T> Where T :   MyWellKnownBase, new()   
           {

Hello vb2ae,

Appreciate your time and suggestion. I guess that should work. I tried something like below and seems to be what am looking for!

public class Gen1<T>
{

    }

    public class Gen2<T, K> where T: Gen1<K>
    {

    }
