Another advantage of Eiffel for .NET's implementation of covariance is that it can be easily understood by CLS-compliant consumer tools. These tools will actually benefit from the Eiffel for .NET covariance.

===Genericity=== ===Handling Eiffel and .NET genericity===
The .NET Framework does not support generics at all, so that the following Eiffel for .NET classes: As noted above, Eiffel for .NET fully supports the powerful genericity mechanism of the Eiffel language. The interface with .NET's own genericity mechanism is, however, not complete in version 23.09. Specifically:
* <code>LIST [ANY]</code>
* <code>LIST [INTEGER]</code>
will actually be generated as: * Generic classes in Eiffel will not yield generic classes in .NET. Instead, each generic derivation of a given Eiffel class will yield a different .NET class. So if we have a generic Eiffel class <code>LIST [G]</code>, the type <code>LIST [ANY]</code> will yield a .NET class <code>LIST_ANY</code>, and the type <code>LIST [INTEGER]</code> will yield a class <code>LIST_Int32</code> .
* <code>LIST_ANY</code>
* <code>LIST_Int32</code>
Meaning that if one wants to reuse an Eiffel generic class from another language than Eiffel for .NET, one has to use either <code>LIST_ANY</code> or <code>LIST_Int32</code>. * If you want to use a generic .NET class (for example in C#), you have to use special techniques as described next.
WARNING: The .NET Core has support for generics, however this is not yet integrated by Eiffel .NET (it will be part of future releases). ===Using generic .NET classes through a Facade===
