Generic type parameter to set a List of a dynamic Type on runtime

Question

I have a dynamic Type that is generated at runtime, say myGeneratedType . I'm trying to create an instance of the following class, where T should be myGeneratedType . I have come across several answers where a dynamic type had to be set to a property of a class, but cannot seem to get it to work on a List<T> :

Type myGeneratedType;

private class Container<T>
{
    public string a { get; set; }
    public string b { get; set; }
    public List<T> c { get; set; }
}

void Main()
{
    Container<myGeneratedType> c = new Container<myGeneratedType>(); 
}

Obviously, the line of code in my method Main() does not work. What should I do to create a class of Container with my dynamic type as the generic type parameter?

Use MakeGenericType:

        var type = typeof(Container<>);
        var MyGenericType = type.MakeGenericType(myGeneratedType));

where myGeneratedType is a Type
