Dynamically set generic type argument

Question

Following on from my question here, I\'m trying to create a generic value equality comparer. I\'ve never played with reflection before so not sure if I\'m on the right track

Answer 1

You need to call the method using reflection, like this:

MethodInfo genericMethod = typeof(SomeClass).GetMethod("ContainSameValues");
MethodInfo specificMethod = genericMethod.MakeGenericMethod(p1.GetType());
if (!(bool)specificMethod.Invoke(this, new object[] { p1, p2 }))

However, your method should not be generic in the first place; it should simply take two object parameters. (Or, if it is generic, it should cache properties and delegates in a generic type)
