make generic instance at runtime C#

Comment

var type = typeof(GenericClass<>).MakeGenericType(a.GetType());
var a_Context = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

// Note that the compile-time type of a_context is object.
// You will have to cast a_context to a type or interface that defines the
//		methods you need to access. Often what you'll see people do here is
//		have the generic type GenericClass<T> implement some interface
//		(say ISomeContext) or inherit from a non-generic base class
//		(say MyContext) that defines the methods they need (so then you can
//		cast a_context to the interface or the non-generic base class).
// Another alternative is to use dynamic. But again, keep in mind,
//		you have none of the benefits of generic types in doing this.
