Remarks

Use the CanSpecializeAttribute attribute on a generic type definition to indicate that the implementation can be overridden for specific values of the type parameters.

This attribute has two required parameters. The AssociationKey specifies a unique string value that identifies the specialization. The BaseType specifies the type that contains the generic implementation that can be specialized.

To create a specialization for a specific set of type parameters, inherit from the specialization base type and override any methods for which you have a specialized implementation. Also create a TypeAssociationAttribute that uses the key to associate the specializing type with the type of the type parameter, which is the owner type of the association.
