Prefer generic overload when type is known

Generic overloads are preferable to overloads that accept an argument of type System.Type when the type is known at compile time (using the typeof operator in C# or the GetType operator in Visual Basic). Generic overloads promote cleaner and more type-safe code with improved compile-time checks.

A method overload that accepts a System.Type argument is called when the type is known at compile time and a suitable generic overload is available.

To fix a violation of this rule, use the suitable generic overload.

It is safe to suppress a warning from this rule; however, we recommend that you use a generic overload if possible.
