Defining generic classes with the same name and different number of type arguments

Question

In C# one could write something like this:

public static class Test
{
}

public class Test<T>
{
}

How can I do the same in C++/CLI?

I tried to define:

public ref class Test abstract sealed
{
};

generic<typename T>
public ref class Test
{
};

But I get a C2011 error: "'class' type redefinition.

I want to create a static class which defines convenient methods for creating instances of my generic class, just like System.Tuple.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Idisis,

it looks the question was answered before: Generic and Non-Generic Class of Same Name in Same Namespace

Answer 2

Try defining your classes in different pairs of .h and .cpp files. Seems to help.
