Type.GetType

Type asdf = Type.GetType(t.GetType().FullName);

How come something like that returns a null type when t is a generic type?
It works fine for non-generic types.

heres the test code that produces the error:

s =

System.Collections.Generic.LinkedList`1[[System.Object, mscorlib,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]

static void Main(string[] args)
{
LinkedList<objectl = new LinkedList<object>();
l.AddLast("sadf");
l.AddLast(34);

string s = l.GetType().FullName;
Type t = Type.GetType(s);

return;
}
