How do I use .Net Generics to inherit a template parameter?

Question

I want to be able to do this.

MyInterface interface = new ServiceProxyHelper<ProxyType>();

Here's the object structure

MyTypeThatImplementsMyInterface : MyInterface

Will this work?

public class ProxyType : MyInterface {} public class ServiceProxyHelper<ProxyType> : IDisposable, MyInterface {}

I think this is what you're trying to do:

public class ServiceProxyHelper<T> where T : MyInterface { ... }
