Question

If your given a Type Object like

var myType = typeof(SomeClass)

Is it possible to get the original type, being an interface or class and using it in generics.

for example

var myObject = container.Resolve<myType>()

so this would create an object of type SomeClass in this situation.

To clarify i’m trying to create a wrapper around an Ioc container so the Ioc framework can change without affecting any other code.

If container.Resolve means one of UnityContainer.Resolve family, than there’s overload, that accepts Type instance:

var obj = container.Resolve(typeObj);

It’s a common feature for DI- or IoC-containers – to have coupled resolution overloads, for generic use-cases, and for non-generic ones.
