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

But you are not using any variable as reference, you are using "T" which has not been defined in that scope. Specify the actual type of the object that you want to create.

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.
