Creating T From Type

[sternr]

Hey,
I have the following class:

public Child<T>
{
//Some Code
}

Can I (using Reflection or any other way) create a Child object in
runtime without knowing what is T? like this:
static object GetChild(Type t)
{

}

Thanks ahead

I think you'll have to use
static object GetChild<T>() : where T : new()
