Of the .NET generics for native use? Yes I am :_) I had a thread about this in borland.delphi.non-technical, and the base problem seems to be that generics can be only applied to a class using an interface. Of course in .NET nearly everything is an object. I haven't seen anything about native implementation yet. > We're questioning the syntax to be used. So I think even if some Delphi.NET2 syntax is revealed, we still can't do anything with it, till we know for sure if the native implementation is not some awful non-optimal kludge to allow .NET generics using code to compile on delphi/native. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
