Re: Generics passing Class type

So no, this (generic inheritance) is illegal:
class MyEditingControl<T> : T, IDataGridViewEditingControl
{ ... }
However you could do this:
class MyEditingControl<T> : IDataGridViewEditingControl where T :
Control
{
private T Control; // either pass in via ctor, or declare T: new()
and create
}

i.e. you can *contain* a T which you can then display in the UI, and
manipulate (using only, by default, the properties on the known
base-class, i.e. those of Control in this case.
