    <p>For what you're trying to do, I think the main benefit of using generics would be to take advantage of type inference. If you declare your method as follows :</p> <pre><code>public static string GetTag&lt;T&gt;(this HtmlHelper h, T myObj, TagBuilder tag) </code></pre> <p>You won't have to specify the type parameter when calling it, because it will be inferred from the usage (i.e. the compiler will see that the second parameter's type is <code>MyType</code>, so it will guess that T == MyType).</p> <p>But anyway, you don't really need to specify the type : the method could call <code>GetType</code> on the object, and use the resulting type the same way it would have used <code>typeof(T)</code>, so generics aren't so useful here.</p> <p>However, I see one reason to use them anyway : if you have an object of type <code>MySubType</code>, which inherits from <code>MyType</code>, you might want to render only properties defined in <code>MyType</code> : in that case you just have to specify <code>MyType</code> as the type parameter, overriding the type inference.</p> <p>Here's a possible implementation :</p> <pre><code>public static string GetTag&lt;T&gt;(this HtmlHelper h, T myObj, TagBuilder tag) { Type t = typeof(T); tag.Attributes.Add("class", t.Name); foreach (PropertyInfo prop in t.GetProperties()) { object propValue = prop.GetValue(myObj, null); string stringValue = propValue != null ? propValue.ToString() : String.Empty; tag.Attributes.Add(prop.Name, stringValue); } return tag.ToString(); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
