Question

I’m writing a couple of classes that all have generic type arguments, but I need to overload the classes because I need a different number of arguments in different scenarios. Basically, I have

 public class MyGenericClass<T> { ... }
 public class MyGenericClass<T, K> { ... }
 public class MyGenericClass<T, K, L> { ... }
 // it could go on forever, but it won't...

I want them all in the same namespace, but in one source file per class. What should I name the files? Is there a best practice?

Answer 1

I’ve seen people use

MyGenericClass`1, MyGenericClass`2 or MyGenericClass`3

(the number is the number of Generic Parameters).

I think that’s what you get as a TypeName when you call .ToString on the class.
