Representing A Generic IList in UML Notation

Question

So, I have a method that returns a generic IList as follows: public IList GetList();. How you represent that in a UML class diagram?

Thanks.

I know how to represent classes, what I want to represent is the method IList return type. — Luis Aguilar, Dec 23 '10 at 03:22

In a UML diagram, a generic or template class would indicate that it aggregates type/class T. Class AClass---aggregates---->T

I don't think you can. It only shows the return type, and the reader must notice that this type is generic.

But what if you simply write IList as return type?

I was thinking on that... but then I saw an article that shows a class using template parameters to represent generic params. – Luis Aguilar Dec 23 '10 at 03:20
I quickly found a post here, I added it on my post, maybe it will help. – Julio Guerra Dec 23 '10 at 03:24
