how to create a list of type obtained from reflection

Question

I have a code which looks like this :

Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(\"ReflectionTest.dll\");
Type myType = assembly.GetType(@\"ReflectionTest.TestObject\         


        

Answer 1

Try this:

var listType = typeof(List<>);
var constructedListType = listType.MakeGenericType(myType);

var myList = (IList)Activator.CreateInstance(constructedListType);
myList.Add(x);

The list will not be strongly-typed but you can add items as objects.
