Convert / Cast IEnumerable to IEnumerable

by

Does your Method2 really care what type it gets? If not, you could just call Cast<object>():

void Method (IEnumerable source)
{
    Method2(source.Cast<object>());
}

If you definitely need to get the right type, you’ll need to use reflection.

Something like:

MethodInfo method = typeof(MyType).GetMethod("Method2");
MethodInfo generic = method.MakeGenericMethod(type);
generic.Invoke(this, new object[] {source});

It’s not ideal though… in particular, if source isn’t exactly an IEnumerable<type> then the invocation will fail. For instance, if the first element happens to be a string, but source is a List<object>, you’ll have problems.
