C++/CLI : How to declare template array as method parameters

Question

I am a newbie to C++/CLI. What is the equivalent of the following C# code in managed C++/CLI for both the header and source file?

public static bool ArrayEquals<T>(T[] a, T[] b) 
{
    return true;
}

Here is the content for the source file:

public:
  generic <typename T>
  static bool ArrayEquals(array<T>^ a, array<T>^ b)
  {
      return true;
  }

@Laurent: Just a quick question. What is the difference between using the keyword generic and template in C++/CLI terms?

I tried the following and kept getting linker errors. Now I know, the keyword generic should be used instead. Thanks Laurent! :)

template<typename T>
bool ArrayEquals(List<T>^ a, List<T>^ b)
{
   return true;
}
