Creating a generic object based on a Type variable [duplicate]

Answer 1

Type type = typeof(MyObject<>).MakeGenericType(objectType);
object myObject = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

Also - watch out; Type.GetType(string) only checks the executing assembly and a few system assemblies; it doesn't scan everything. If you use an assembly-qualified-name you should be fine - otherwise you may need to get the Assembly first, and use someAssembly.GetType(string).
