Compiler Error CS0449
The 'class' or 'struct' constraint must come before any other constraints
The constraints on the type parameter of a generic type or method must occur in a specific order: class
or struct
must be first, if present, then any interface constraints, and finally any constructor constraints. This error is caused by the class
or struct
constraint not appearing first. To resolve this error, reorder the constraint clauses.
The following sample generates CS0449.
// CS0449.cs
// compile with: /target:library
interface I {}
public class C4
{
public void F1<T>() where T : class, struct, I {} // CS0449
public void F2<T>() where T : I, struct {} // CS0449
public void F3<T>() where T : I, class {} // CS0449
// OK
public void F4<T>() where T : class {}
public void F5<T>() where T : struct {}
public void F6<T>() where T : I {}
}
