WCF Question when using ChannelFactory as part of a generic routine....

I may be trying to do something that can't be done (or "shouldn't" be done), but here goes.

I'm trying to construct a generalized method for creating a client-side factory channel using WCF. So that I can pass it any one of dozens of interface contracts, and the method will pump out a proxy.

So essentially, I want to do this...

public T GetGeneralFactoryChannel<T>(T interfaceType)
{

Binding myBinding = new WSHttpBinding();
ChannelFactory<T> oChannelFactory = new ChannelFactory<T>(myBinding);
oChannelFactory.Endpoint.Address = new
EndpointAddress("http://MyServer//testwcf/service.svc";);

T MyProxyChannel = oChannelFactory.CreateChannel();

return MyProxyChannel;
}

And then I can call it like so:

IMyContract MyContract;
MyContract = (IMyContract)GetGeneralFactoryChannel(typeof(IMyContract));
MyContract.CallSomeMethod();

The problem is that I get errors when the code tries to create a channel factory..."The type argument passed to the generic ChannelFactory class must be an interface type".

I tried using MakeGenericType, but that didn't help.

So anyway, has anyone tried to do something similar? (using ChannelFactory inside something generic, so that you could pass any contract interface?)

I was hoping to avoid reflection or Activator.GetObject, but if that's the only way to get this to work...

Feel free to suggest an alternate approach....

Thanks,
Kevin
