Question

I have the following code. t is showing as invalid on the second line.

Cannot resolve symbol 't'

How can I instantiate a generic class using Type t.

Type t = currentProperty.PropertyType;
var x = new MyClass<t>();

thank you

Generics are only a compile time feature, not a runtime feature. You need to create the class using reflection.

Type t = currentProperty.PropertyType;
Type desiredType = typeof(MyClass<>).MakeGenericType(t);
var instance = Activator.CreateInstance(desiredType);
