Pass An Instantiated System.Type as a Type Parameter for a Generic Class

Question

The title is kind of obscure. What I want to know is if this is possible:

string typeName = ;
Type myType = Type.GetType(         


        

Answer 1

Unfortunately no there is not. Generic arguments must be resolvable at Compile time as either 1) a valid type or 2) another generic parameter. There is no way to create generic instances based on runtime values without the big hammer of using reflection.
