QuestionMakeGenericType/CreateInstance Object to underlying Type at run-time: why this works is driving me crazy Pin
BillWoodruff28-Sep-21 5:45
professionalBillWoodruff28-Sep-21 5:45 
Using MakeGenericType and Activator.CreateInstance() to make a generic Type at runtime returns an Object: to make a usable instance of that Object, you have to cast it to its "native" Type.

surprise: i stumbled across a way to get a usable instance of the Object ... without explicit casting ... by using 'dynamic'; example:
// type template
Type generic = typeof(Dictionary<,>);

// array of types to substitute for the type parameters of the generic Type
Type[] typeArgs = { typeof(string), typeof(string) };

// Create a Type object representing the constructed generic type.
Type newGenericType = generic.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);

dynamic instance = Activator.CreateInstance(newGenericType);

instance.Add("1", "2");
I am not sure, how, in this case, use of 'dynamic' works.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Note: afaik, no example of this technique occurs in any MS documentation.
