"where" keyword in class declaration in c sharp
.net, c#, generics
Solution
`where TEntity : ...` applies constraints to the generic parameter TEntity. In this case, the constraints are:
class: The argument to TEntity must be a reference type IEntity: The argument must be or implement the IEntity interface new(): The argument must have a public parameterless constructor

Problem
Could anyone help me with the line `where TEntity : class, IEntity, new()` in the following class declaration. ``` public abstract class BaseEntityManager<TEntity> where TEntity : class, IEntity, new() ```
