Cast generic type parameter to a specific type in C#

Question

If you need to cast a generic type parameter to a specific type we can cast it to a object and do the casting like below,

void SomeMethod(T t)
{
    SomeClas         


        

Answer 1

You can use Convert.ChangeType

SomeClass obj2 = (SomeClass)Convert.ChangeType(t, typeof(SomeClass));

Although, keep in mind that this will throw an exception if a cast is invalid.
