Re: how to find the type of an object represented by an interface

Okay. Actually, I found the answer (seems I always stumble on it shortly
after posting), but it led to another problem.

Sub GetNewObjectOfType(ByVal sender As IGenericInference)
Dim o As Object = sender
Dim T As Type = o.GetType()

'now, what I need to do is call a method that takes a generics argument
Dim newobject as Object = SomeObjectOfType(Of T)()
End Sub

Function SomeObjectOfType(Of T As IGenericInference)() As T
(code to create new object of type T)
End Function

Looks like I can't call SomeObjectOfType(Of T)() with a variable as a
reference. Weird, because if T was passed into the Sub via a generics Of
statement I would be able to pass it on.

How can I use reflection (or some other method) to find the type of an
object that has been passed in to my method under an interface
definition?

I try to use GetType, but that won't work.
