Can I pass a type object to a generic method? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You may need to use Reflection to do this, something like this:

DataAccessLayer.GetType().GetMethod("FindAll<>").MakeGenericMethod(type).Invoke()

Answer 2

When using generics, the type needs to be resolveable at compile time. You are trying to supply the type at runtime.
