Generic Type with namespace restriction

Question

Everyone knows

public class Test<T> where T : SomeBaseClass

But is there a way to restrict T to classes that exists in a namespace like

public class Test<T> where T in SomeNamespace

Best regards

Answer 1

No. There's no way to constrain a generic type to a namespace.

Answer 2

Namespace constrains are not possible. Anyway it does not makes any sence because everyone can create classes which are located in the target namespace. It maybe would only make sence if you can restrict it to a specific assembly.

Would make more sence if you can restrict it to n types like the following lines( doesn't work ):

public T Create<T>() where T : { MyClass1, MyClass2 }

See constraints
