Compiler Error CS0704
Cannot do member lookup in 'type' because it is a type parameter
An inner type cannot be specified through a type parameter. Try using the desired type explicitly.
The following sample generates CS0704:
// CS0704.cs
class B
{
public class I { }
}
class C<T> where T : B
{
T.I f; // CS0704 – member lookup on type parameter
// Try this instead:
// B.I f;
}
class CMain
{
public static void Main() {}
}
