I've been trying to do this for a good few hours now and this is as far as I have got

var castItems = typeof(Enumerable).GetMethod("Cast")
                  .MakeGenericMethod(new Type[] { targetType })
                  .Invoke(null, new object[] { items });

This returns me

System.Linq.Enumerable+d__aa`1[MyObjectType]

whereas I need (for my ViewData) as generic list i.e.

System.Collections.Generic.List`1[MyObjectType]

Any pointers would be great
