IEnumerable<T> problem

Can someone, for the life of me, explain why this code won't compile with CS0305 as the compiler error

Thanks very much,

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class MyContainer<T> : IEnumerable<T>
{
public void Add( T item ) {
impl.Add( item );
}

public void Add<R>( MyContainer<R> otherContainer ) {
  foreach( item R in otherContainer ) {
   impl.Add( item );
  }
}

public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator() {
  foreach( item T in impl ) {
   yield return item;
  }
}

IEnumerator IEnumerable.GetEnumerator() {
return GetEnumerator();
}

private List<T> impl;
}

public class EntryPoint
{
static void Main() {
MyContainer<long> lContainer = new MyContainer<long>();
MyContainer<int> iContainer = new MyContainer<int>();

  lContainer.Add( 1 );
  lContainer.Add( 2 );
  iContainer.Add( 3 );
  iContainer.Add( 4 );

lContainer.Add( iContainer );

  foreach( long l in lContainer ) {
   Console.WriteLine( l );
  }
}
}

IEnumerable<T> problem

Hi all,

I figured out the problem. Someone suggested that the compiler may just need a little help by fully qualifying things. I wish I thought of that sooner. There, were of course, other syntax issues in the code that I had not gotten to since I was blocked on this one. However, just for good measure, I have attached what the code should really look like so it does not make me look like I was smoking crack. ;-)

Thanks,
