Re: Generics Question

But that's what I don 't understand. Why can't I create a parameterized
constructor for a class and have its parameter be of an interface type?

Sub New(x As IEmployee)

Then this type would be essentially parameterized, would it not?

Well, you asked it in a way that sounded like you were proposing a
solution. What would your parameterized constructor look like?

In short, to answer your original question: no, you couldn't do
everything that generics offers with interfaces, because interfaces
don't allow you to parameterize types or methods *by types*.
