Definition

Important

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released.

Here's main class of this Demo.

You can see mostly type of article within this class and you for more detail, please see the remarks.

this class is a template class. It has two Generic parameter. they are: T and K.

The extension method of this class can refer to ICatExtension class

[System.Serializable]
public class Cat<T,K> : CatLibrary.ICat where T : class, new() where K : struct

This type should be class and can new instance.

This type is a struct type, class type can't be used for this parameter.

Here's example of how to create an instance of this class. As T is limited with class and K is limited with struct.

var a = new Cat(object, int)();
int catNumber = new int();
unsafe
{
    a.GetFeetLength(catNumber);
}

As you see, here we bring in pointer so we need to add unsafe keyword.

Here's all the content you can see in this class.
