Assuming you have the following type:

public class Counter
{
  public T Value { get; set; }
}

and have the assembly qualified name of the type, you can construct it in the following manner:

string typeName = typeof(Counter<>).AssemblyQualifiedName;
Type t = Type.GetType(typeName);

Counter counter = 
  (Counter)Activator.CreateInstance(
    t.MakeGenericType(typeof(int)));

counter.Value++;
Console.WriteLine(counter.Value);
