I want to create a generic query builder to entityframework. To the following method ObjectContext.ExecuteStoreQuery<TElement> Method (String, Object[]) I am trying to pass generic types. That is : 

BindingSource mybindingSource = new BindingSource();

mybindingSource.DataSource = 
    con.ExecuteStoreQuery<**SomeMethod**(MyTypeName)>(
        myperfectWorkingSql, 
        myperfectWorkingSqlsParams
    );

How can I get TElement from string MyTypeName? How should be my SomeMethod() function? Or which methods should I use?

or the following code also gives error? Here am I wrong ? 

 function fooo ( Type t) {

 BindingSource mybindingSource = new BindingSource();

mybindingSource.DataSource = 
    con.ExecuteStoreQuery<t>(
        myperfectWorkingSql, 
        myperfectWorkingSqlsParams
    );
 }

ERROR: this gives type t or namespace t can not be found !

Since you want to get your type from string, it will be resolved during the runtime, so you can't do such things con.ExecuteStoreQuery<t>. However you can use reflection to invoke this method and provide type as generic parameter

Refer to this answer on how to invoke generic method via reflection
