Take the 2-minute tour ×  EDIT: the class/method that i'm trying
to run this inside is static and therefore i'm unable to pass
this into the generic.Invoke  I have a static Data Access Class
that i use to automatically parse data from various sources. i
was starting to re-factor it when i ran into a problem. Im tring
to pass a Type to a Generic method via reflection, (the method
then parses the type and returns the Type with a value) my code
currently looks like  Type type1 = typeof( T ); var item =
(T)Activator.CreateInstance( typeof( T ), new object[] { } );
foreach (PropertyInfo info in type1.GetProperties())     Type
dataType = info.PropertyType;     Type dataType =
info.PropertyType;     MethodInfo method = typeof( DataReader
).GetMethod( "Read" );     MethodInfo generic =
method.MakeGenericMethod( dataType );      //The next line is
causing and error as it expects a 'this' to be passed to it
//but i cannot as i'm inside a static class     generic.Invoke(
this, info.Name, reader );     info.SetValue
