Hi everybody,

We have the following base repository class

namespace SysManager.Repository
{
    public abstract class RepositoryBase<T> : IRepository<T> where T : class
    {
        protected readonly ISiriusSqlContext _siriusContext;

        protected readonly IDbSet<T> _dbSet;
        private readonly IExceptionParser _exceptionParser;

        public RepositoryBase(ISiriusSqlContext context)
        {
            _siriusContext = context;
            _dbSet = _siriusContext.Set<T>();
            _exceptionParser = new ExceptionParser();
            
        }
    etc.

Now, I want to be able to optionally enhance it, e.g. I want to be able to pass an extra class but only in some cases, e.g. something like

    public abstract class RepositoryBase<T, TList> : IRepository<T> where T : class, where TList: class
    {
        protected readonly ISiriusSqlContext _siriusContext;

        protected readonly IDbSet<T> _dbSet;
        private readonly IExceptionParser _exceptionParser;

        public RepositoryBase(ISiriusSqlContext context)
        {
            _siriusContext = context;
            _dbSet = _siriusContext.Set<T>();
            _exceptionParser = new ExceptionParser();
            
        }

Will I be able to do something like this and keep all my current declarations the same as this extra TList class I only want to use when supplied?

What are my options here?

Thanks in advance.
