Edit Question
Title
Body
I have the following classes and interfaces: public interface IThing { string Name { get; } } public class Thing : IThing { public string Name { get; set; } } public abstract class ThingConsumer<T> where T : IThing { public string Name { get; set; } } Now, I have a factory that will return objects derived from ThingConsumer like: public class MyThingConsumer : ThingConsumer<Thing> { } My factory currently looks like this: public static class ThingConsumerFactory<T> where T : IThing { public static ThingConsumer<T> GetThingConsumer(){ if (typeof(T) == typeof(Thing)) { return new MyThingConsumer(); } else { return null; } } } I'm getting tripped up with this error: Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'ConsoleApplication1.MyThingConsumer' to 'ConsoleApplication1.ThingConsumer<T>' Anyone know how to accomplish what I'm attempting here? Thanks! Chris
