Generics

Using Generics in C#
Generics allow us to create type safe collections with no boxing and un-boxing overhead. It is a concept that allows us to achieve parametric polymorphism. This article discusses this concept with examples.
MSDN: Introduction to Generics (C# Programming Guide)
Generic classes and methods combine reusability, type safety and efficiency in a way that their non-generic counterparts cannot. Generics are most commonly used with collections and the methods that operate on them. Version 2.0 of the .NET Framework class library provides a new namespace, System.Collections.Generic, which contains several new generic-based collection classes. It is recommended that all applications that target Version 2.0 use the new generic collection classes instead of the older non-generic counterparts such as ArrayList.
