Problem in Deserialize

Question

See more:

i have function which Deserialize a xml its generic type method.

code is :

C#

public static T DeserializeFromXml<t>(string xml)
        {
            T result;
            XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
            using (TextReader tr = new StringReader(xml))
            {
                result = (T)ser.Deserialize(tr);
            }
            return result;
        }

i can use this method in my application.
Now Problem is that i want to send T at runtime where i have to decide Type of T.

if i do :

C#

var type = Obje1.GetType();
DeserializeFromXml<type>(FileXml) // it gives error

2nd option :

C#

System.Type type = Obje1.GetType();
DeserializeFromXml<type>(FileXml) // it gives error

can any bodey help to pass Type at runtime?
i dont want to use if else or switch case like

C#

if (obj1.GetType() == typeof(int))

Thanks in Advance.

To use DeserializeFromXml<T>() you must supply the type at compile time :

C#

public class mytype { ... }

DeserializeFromXml<mytype>(FileXml);
</mytype>

If you don't know the type at compile time then you should use :

C#

public static object DeserializeFromXml(Type t, string xml)
        {
            object result;
            XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(t);
            using (TextReader tr = new StringReader(xml))
            {
                result = ser.Deserialize(tr);
            }
            return result;
        }

DeserializeFromXml(Obje1.GetType(), FileXml);
