What is the term for empty generic parameters <,> in C#?
c#, generics
Solution
Type names which are missing generic parameters such as `List<>` are referred to as unbound generic types. This question has a good summary of unbound generic types as well as some related terminology.
Depending on what context you are describing these types, some other terminology may be used. The C# specification uses the term "unbound generic type" to refer to something like `T<>`. The .Net framework seems to prefer the terms "generic type definition" (as dasblinkenlight pointed out, see also `Type.GetGenericTypeDefinition()`) or "open generic type" (see this article).
