Get object type from collection and passing it to generic class

Question

I have created a generic TypeDescriptionProvider. I need to register this provider for a particular type during runtime. The type is extracted from IList, So basically I have this

IList
MyTypeProvider<T>

and I need to do something like this:

TypeDescriptor.AddProvider(new MyTypeDescriptionProvider<name>(type), type);

I was able to get the T from IList as Type, but I am unable to pass it to MyTypeDescriptionProvider<>.

Thanks, Goran
