Question

I have a generic class foo. I have a Type object called bar.

How do I get the Type foo<bar>? I have seen examples of using a factory type setup when you have an instance of the object, but I don’t have an instance.

Some code:

public class foo<T>
{

}

public Type GetGenericFoo(Type bar)
{
    Type genericFooBar = null;
    //work magic
    return genericFooBar;
}

Answer 1

What about:

typeof(foo<>).MakeGenericType(bar)

so in you’re code it will be like:

public Type GetGenericFoo(Type bar)
{
    return typeof(foo<>).MakeGenericType(bar);
}
