'Lexical' scoping of type parameters in C#
- by leppie
I have 2 scenarios.
This fails:
class F<X>
{
public X X { get; set; }
}
error CS0102: The type 'F' already contains a definition for 'X'
This works:
class F<X>
{
class G
{
public X X { get; set; }
}
}
The only logical explanation is that in the second snippet the type parameter X is out of scope, which is not true...
Why should a type parameter affect my definitions in a type?
IMO, for consistency, either both should work or neither should work.
Any other ideas?
PS: I call it 'lexical', but it probably is not not the correct term.
