Cast with GetType()

Question

Is it possible to cast an object to the type returned from GetType()? I\'d like a generic method that can accept an object (for anonymous types) but then return

Answer 1

You can use the Activator.CreateInstance method to create an instance from a type.

FYI reflection is SLOOWWWW, so if you need to do this cast many times in a row, it may be better to define your types in an enum or something like this then create instances without using reflection.
