For any given type i want to know its default value.

In C#, there is a keyword called default for doing this like

object obj = default(Decimal);

but I have an instance of Type (called myType) and if I say this,

object obj = default(myType);

it doesn't work

Is there any good way of doing this? I know that a huge switch block will work but thats not a good choice.
