Sujeet Suman · Answer

Generic : - Roughly you can say that Generic in programming means specify type later when need to use as per your requirement. C# 2.0 introduce a new feature Generic that allows defining a class or method with type as a parameter. Generics allow for designing a classes and methods whose types are specified only at the time of declaration and instantiation. This enables development of universal classes and methods that help in improving performance productivity and type-safety. Also it help us to separate the data-type logic from a logical code snippet. Generic Collection : - A collection is simply a collection of whatever like object or strings or integers etc. So in a simplest word you can say Generic Collection is a collection of defined type like collection of strings or collection of integers etc. If this is helpful for you then please accept my Answer .

Hello Phani Generics Generics are different from generic collections.Generic collections are emerged from generic concept. It helps us to maximize code reuse performance and type safety. Generics are strongly type collections. Generics helps to decouple the data-type from the logical code snippet which makes the code to reuse again and again. more details check out below link http://www.onlinebuff.com/article_what-are-generics-in-c-using-an-example_33.html G eneric Collections We can use generic collections in our code by calling the namespace using System.Collections.Generic. Generic Collections helps us to create flexible type-safe strong type collections at compile time. Generic collections helps us to separate the collection logic (Add Search Remove Clear) from different data-types available in .net. more details check below link http://www.onlinebuff.com/article_what-are-generic-collections-in-c-using-an-example_34.html
