10.7. Generic Methods

Type members (functions and sub procedures) can also be defined with type parameters, whether or not the class in which they appear uses generics . The type parameter information appears between the defined method name and its regular parameter list.

     Public Sub GenericMessage(Of T As System.Windows.Forms.Control) _           (ByVal preamble As String, ByVal someObject As T)        MsgBox(preamble & ": " & someObject.Location.ToString(  ))     End Sub 

All of the multiple parameter, constraint, and member usage rules that apply to generic classes also apply to generic members.
