title: How Do I Create Something 'OF' a Variable's Type?
body: <p>I have some code like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Lookup(Of String)("Testing")
  Lookup(Of Integer)("Testing")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And both of those Lookups work great.  What I'm trying to is call the appropriate LookUp based on the type of another variable.  Something that would look like...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Lookup(Of GetType(MyStringVariable))("Testing")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried to Google this but I'm having a hard time coming up with an appropriate search.  Can anyone tell me how to do what I want?</p>
