Title Body

I have a method like the following: public IEnumerable<T> GetControls<T>() : where T : ControlBase { // removed. } I then created a class: public class HandleBase<TOwner> : ControlBase : TOwner { // Removed } I'd like to be able to call GetControls<HandleBase<this.GetType()>>; where it would use the type of THIS class to pass to the HandleBase. This would in essentially get all HandleBase that have an owner of THIS type. How can I achieve this? EDIT: I'm using .NET 2.0 so solutions greater than 2.0 will not work. The idea is to have ControlBase have a collection of other ControlBase for "children". Then they can be queried based on their type with GetControls<T>() . This would allow me to, for example, get all HandleBase for a Shape. Then I can take all of these and set Visible=false or do something else with them. Thus I can manipulate children of a specific type for a collection. HandleBase<TOwner> requires the TOwner since it has a reference to the "owning type". So you can only add anything that extends HandleBase to a Shape. Make sense? Thanks for all the help!
