What is relation between the MyClass object and <T> in the given class

What is relation between MyClass object and <T> in 

public class MyClass<T> where T : myGeneric
{
}

To Add to my question after DBM's reply


How is the implemention above is better than 

IGenericInterface
{
 int Bar();
}

public abstract GenericClass : IGenericInterface   
{
    public virtual int Bar()
    {
     return 1; 
    }

}

and then using the abstraft class to implement 

public class MyClass  : GenericClass 
{
   IGenericInterface GenericObject ;
}

  1. Does not require you to cast MyClass to IGenericInterface

  2. At compile time, all occurrences of T will be replaced with the actual class type that was used in the call, rather than the class being casted at runtime to the IGenericInterface.

You may want to read up on C# generics. The code you posted is a class called MyClass that can take anything that derives from the class myGeneric. The T is a placeholder for the type.

You could, for example, do 

public class myGeneric
{
      public int Bar() 
      {
           return 1;
      }
}

public class MyClass<T> where T : myGeneric 
{ 
      public void DoSomething(T foo) 
      {
           int x = foo.Bar();
      }
}

So in the example above, x would be 1.

"MyClass" is the class name, "<T>" is the generic parameter list.
