Generics with Generic Parameters and Abstract class

by

In my experience it is easiest to create non-generic interface to generic classes. It also solves the problem when you need to cast to the base class without knowing the generic type.

interface IFirstClass {...}

abstract class FirstClass<T> : IFirstClass {...}

abstract class SecondClass<T> where T : IFirstClass {...}
