How to TypeCast T(Generic Type) into some Class DataType

Hi,
I am little bit confuse in type casting through Generic Type.
Here in my below code if my mainClassObject of Type T is a type of SignInEventHandler. I want to typecast T in SignInEventHandler type so i can access the SignInEvenHandler Members.
Here SignInEventHandler is a Monobehaviour Class.

public override IEnumerator OnButtonClickEvent (Button buttonType, T mainClassObject){

                    //...............if mainClassObject type is SignInEventHandler...........//

			if (mainClassObject.GetType () == typeof(SignInEventHandler)) {

                               // i want to do something like this//
                               SignInEventHandler signIn = (SignInEventHandler)mainClassObject.

			}
		    
			yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.0f);
		}

This is because T is too unbounded for the compiler to promise any special behaviour. You can get away with this by using a safe cast:

SignInEventHandler signIn = mainClassObject as SignInEventHandler
if (signIn != null) //Will be null if the cast cannot be done
{
    
}

You are misusing generic here. If you need your parameter to implement the type, then the parameter should be of that type. Actually, I would make SignInEventHandler an interface.
