this is right,but this is useable when i have type of list,for example
```
List result = (IEnumerable) methodInfo.Invoke(obj, null);  
```
in place i have string type.
but in my code i don't have type,my type is a unknown value,for example:
my type is: "mytype" ,my type is a name in string ....

Reflection is not about that. Reflection is not used in a manner that you are expecting to use it.

If you know the API, and can access the API (class object), why don't you simply execute that function to get the results?

Anyways, try this code,
```
List result = (IEnumerable) methodInfo.Invoke(obj, null); 
```
