c# - What does the keyword "where" in a class declaration do?

I'm looking at the source code for the MvcContrib Grid and see the class declared as:

public class Grid<T> : IGrid<T> where T : class

What does the where T : class bit do?

See Question&Answers more detail:os

It is a generic type constraint.

In this case it means that the generic type (T) must be a reference type, that is class, interface, delegate, or array type.

Other constraints are listed here.

You can also constrain the generic type to inherit from a specific type (base class or interface)
