There are a [[Eiffel for .NET Integration|few limitations]] in the integration between Eiffel .NET and .NET solution.
However, it is sometime possible to find workaround, a common technique is to use a C# facade project, and use it from the Eiffel .NET project.
See in the following section, a way to use a facade C# project to workaround the current limitation on ".NET generic" compilation (i.e the fact the Eiffel compiler does not support yet the .NET generics).
This technique can be adapted to bypass other limitations or annoyances.
==Using generic .NET classes through a facade==
Currently, Eiffel does not support consuming generics from C# classes. This tutorial demonstrates a workaround for this limitation by creating a Facade for a `List<string>` in C#

===Conclusion===
By creating a Facade for a `List<string>` in C#, we can effectively consume C# generic features in Eiffel.
This approach can be extended to other generic types as well.
Obviously, this approach can be extended to other generic types as well.
