Compiler Error CS0416
'type parameter': an attribute argument cannot use type parameters
A type parameter was used as an attribute argument, which is not allowed. Use a non-generic type.
The following sample generates CS0416:
// CS0416.cs
public class MyAttribute : System.Attribute
{
public MyAttribute(System.Type t)
{
}
}
class G<T>
{
[MyAttribute(typeof(G<T>))] // CS0416
public void F()
{
}
}
