“G” a Matter of Concern

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

Thanx a lot folks for giving a good response to Generics.Net. Despite being tagged as a well designed library I have got one common concern about “G” charater, which was prefixed to classes in the library. Putting a “G” prior to class names was considered as non compliant to CLS (Common Language Specification) standards. This concern by the user of library prompted me to find link between CLS compliences and prefix on class names. As a result of that, I made assembly CLS compliant (Pros of concern), executed with FxCope rules… But considered not guilty :). Then I realized that may be “G” is not giving that flexibility to library user. So I decided to clean up class names by stripping off “G” Prefix… And finally Generics.Net got cleaned up…

New release will have no “G” attached type names…. :)
