Question

I’m trying to get a generic method working in VB.NET but I can’t get the signature to accept a generic type parameter. I just get “‘t’ is not accesble because it is “Friend””.

My method signature is:

Public Shared Function GetOffset(ByVal coll As IEnumerable(Of t), ByVal offset As Integer, ByVal limit As Integer) As IEnumerable(Of t)

Answer 1

You haven’t specified a type parameter as far as I’ve seen. Shouldn’t it be:

Public Shared Function GetOffset(Of t)(ByVal coll As IEnumerable(Of t), _
     ByVal offset As Integer, ByVal limit As Integer) As IEnumerable(Of t)

Note that conventionally this would be T rather than t.
