Generic Library System

This project is a simple generic library system implemented in C#. The purpose of this system is to demonstrate the usage of generics in C# by creating a library that can store and manage different types of items.

Core Components

The core components of this project include:

1. Library.cs: This file defines the Library class, which is responsible for managing the collection of library items. It includes methods to add items to the library and retrieve all items.

2. LibraryItem.cs: This file defines the LibraryItem class, which represents an item in the library. It is a generic class that can store any type of item.

3. Program.cs: This file contains the main program that demonstrates the usage of the library system. It creates a library, adds items to it, and retrieves and displays all items.

Setup Instructions

To set up the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Open the ConsoleApp1.sln solution file in Visual Studio.
3. Build the project by selecting Build > Build Solution from the menu.
4. Run the project by selecting Debug > Start Debugging from the menu.

Usage Example

Here is an example of how to use the library system:

using System;

namespace ConsoleApp1
{
    internal class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Create library
            Library library = new Library();

            // Create and add library items
            var bookItem = new LibraryItem<string>("The Great Gatsby");
            var magazineItem = new LibraryItem<string>("National Geographic");
            var dvdItem = new LibraryItem<string>("Inception DVD");

            library.AddItem(bookItem);
            library.AddItem(magazineItem);
            library.AddItem(dvdItem);

            // Retrieve and display all items in the library
            Console.WriteLine("Items in the Library:");
            foreach (var item in library.GetAllItems())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item);
            }
        }
    }
}

In this example, we create a library and add three items to it: a book, a magazine, and a DVD. We then retrieve and display all items in the library.
