<pre><code>public class MyNewClassMapper &lt; EntityContainer, ModelContainer &gt; 
   : BaseClassContainerMapper &lt; EntityContainer, ModelContainer &gt;
{

}
</code></pre>

<p>I have the above code in my app. Could not find the link in MSDN which explains about the class declarations shown above. Added white space around for each angle brackets to make this post readable.
Please help.
