NUnit TestCase with Generics

Question

Is there any way to pass generic types using a TestCase to a test in NUnit?

This is what I would like to do but the syntax is not correct...

I did something similar last week. Here's what I ended up with:

internal interface ITestRunner
{
    void RunTest(object _param, object _expectedValue);
}

internal class TestRunner : ITestRunner
{
    public void RunTest(object _param, T _expectedValue)
    {
        T result = MakeGenericCall();

        Assert.AreEqual(_expectedValue, result);
    }
    public void RunTest(object _param, object _expectedValue)
    {
        RunTest(_param, (T)_expectedValue);
    }
}

And then the test itself:

[Test]
[TestCase(typeof(int), "my param", 20)]
[TestCase(typeof(double), "my param", 123.456789)]
public void TestParse(Type _type, object _param, object _expectedValue)
{
    Type runnerType = typeof(TestRunner<>);
    var runner = Activator.CreateInstance(runnerType.MakeGenericType(_type));
    ((ITestRunner)runner).RunTest(_param, _expectedValue);
}
