Is there a constraint that restricts my generic method to numeric types?

Question

Can anyone tell me if there is a way with generics to limit a generic type argument T to only:

• Int16
• Int32

Answer 1

I was wondering the same as samjudson, why only to integers? and if that is the case, you might want to create a helper class or something like that to hold all the types you want.

If all you want are integers, don't use a generic, that is not generic; or better yet, reject any other type by checking its type.
