In the code below, I am trying to create a collection of "SomeClass" objects, each one being created based on the generic type chosen by the caller of "CreateSomeList", like this:

Dim c as Collection = CreateSomeList(GetType(Integer), GetType(Single), GetType(Double), GetType(Date)) 

The problem is that the line "Dim sc as SomeClass(Of t)" fails to compile, saying "Type 't' is not defined.".

Here is the complete code to reproduce:

Public Function CreateSomeList(ByVal ParamArray Types() As System.Type) As Collection

Dim somelist As New Collection For Each t As System.Type In Types
    Dim sc As SomeClass(Of t) ' this is the line that fails to compile
    somelist.Add(sc)
Next

Return somelist
End Function

Public Class SomeClass(Of T)
Private mValue As T
Public Property Value() As T
    Get
        Return mValue
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As T)
        mValue = value
    End Set
End Property

End Class

How can I make this work?
