You should use reflection to get the method to start with, then "construct" it by
supplying type arguments with MakeGenericMethod:
public class ClassName
{
    public void GenericMethodName()
    {
        // ...
    }
}
MethodInfo method = typeof(Sample).GetMethod(nameof(ClassName.GenericMethodName));
MethodInfo generic = method.MakeGenericMethod(myType);
generic.Invoke(this, null);
For a static method, pass null as the first argument to Invoke. That's nothing to do
with generic methods - it's just normal reflection.

proceed like below
var methodInfo = typeof(ClassWithGenericMethod).GetMethod("MethodName");
var genericMethodInfo = methodInfo.MakeGenericMethod(yourRuntimType);
var result = genericMethodInfo.Invoke(null, new object[] { yourArgument });
