C# interface specfying a generic return type

Question

I have something like:

public interface IExample
{
  int GetInteger()
  T GetAnything(); //How do I define a function with a generic return type???
^^^^^
}

Is this possible???

Answer 1

If the whole interface should be generic:

public interface IExample<T>
{
  int GetInteger();
  T GetAnything();
}

If only the method needs to be generic:

public interface IExample
{
  int GetInteger();
  T GetAnything<T>();
}
