Try this:
public void SomeMethod()
{
var vars = new object();
var genericMethod = GetType().GetMethod("load");
var types = new[] { typeof(Settings), typeof(CatPictures),
typeof(OtherMemes) };
foreach(var type in types)
{
genericMethod.MakeGenericMethod(type).Invoke(this, new[] { vars });
}
}
There are some optimisations that could make this better but it's a good
start.
