Yes, it is Possible, if both are same type , But it is not
possible if both are diffrent type, below a gave sample
code describe things.
Example:
class BaseClassGenrics<T>
{
}
class DerivedClassGenrics<T> : BaseClassGenrics<T>
{
}
//-- correct one
DerivedClassGenrics<int> derivedClassGenrics = new
DerivedClassGenrics<int>();
BaseClassGenrics<int> gaseClassGenrics = new
BaseClassGenrics<int>();
gaseClassGenrics = derivedClassGenrics;
//-- Wrong one
DerivedClassGenrics<int> derivedClassGenrics = new
DerivedClassGenrics<int>();
BaseClassGenrics<string> gaseClassGenrics = new
BaseClassGenrics<string>();
gaseClassGenrics = derivedClassGenrics;
You get error like this : Cannot implicitly convert
type 'DerivedClassGenrics<int>'
to 'BaseClassGenrics<string>'
