Generic List<T> as parameter on method

c#, c#-3.0, generics

Solution

To take a generic `List<T>` vs a bound `List<int>` you need to make the method generic as well. This is done by adding a generic parameter to the method much in the way you add it to a type.

Try the following

void Export<T>(List<T> data, params string[] parameters) {
 ...
}

Problem

How can I use a `List<T>` as a parameter on a method, I try this syntax : ``` void Export(List<T> data, params string[] parameters){ } ``` I got compilation error: The type or namespace name 'T' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
