How do I create a generic class from a string in C#? [duplicate]

by

Here is my 2 cents:

Type genericType = typeof(Repository<>);
Type[] typeArgs = { Type.GetType("TypeRepository") };
Type repositoryType = genericType.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);

object repository = Activator.CreateInstance(repositoryType);

Answering the question in comment.

MethodInfo genericMethod = repositoryType.GetMethod("GetMeSomething");
MethidInfo closedMethod = genericMethod.MakeGenericMethod(typeof(Something));
closedMethod.Invoke(repository, new[] { "Query String" });
