As the title suggests, I'm tyring to pass a variable data type to a template class. Something like this:

frmExample = New LookupForm(Of Models.MyClass) 'Works fine

Dim SelectedType As Type = InstanceOfMyClass.GetType() 'Works fine
repoGeneric = New Repositories.Repository(Of SelectedType) 'Ba-bow!
repoGeneric = New Repositories.Repository(Of InstanceOfMyClass.GetType()) 'Ba-bow!

I'm assuming it's something to do with the template being processed at compile time but even if I'm off the mark there, it wouldn't solve my problem anyway. I can't find any relevant information on using Reflection to instance template classes either.

(How) can I create an instance of a dynamically typed repository at runtime?
