specifying a generic type parameter using a string
<p>Suppose I have a method</p>

<pre><code>public void Whatever&lt;T&gt;() { ... }
</code></pre>

<p>suppose I have a type in the form of a string</p>

<pre><code>var myType = "System.String";
</code></pre>

<p>Normally, I'd call the method like:</p>

<pre><code>Whatever&lt;string&gt;();
</code></pre>

<p>But I'd like to be able to call it using myType somehow. Is this possible?
I know this doesn't work, but conceptually:</p>

<pre><code>Whatever&lt;Type.GetType(myType)&gt;();
</code></pre>
