What is this C# generic constraint does: public class ValueObject where T : ValueObject

Question

I don't understand this generic constraint where the constraint is the same type as the class.

public class ValueObject<T> where T : ValueObject<T>

What does this constraints? When it is used?

It simply means it is a value object of another value object. — weichch, Mar 29 '20 at 08:32
There is also a nice article from Eric Lippert [Curiouser and curiouser](https://ericlippert.com/2011/02/02/curiouser-and-curiouser/) — Pavel Anikhouski, Mar 29 '20 at 08:42
