Using JavaScriptSerializer Deserialze array of generic object in C#

I am calling rest API from a loop and my object name is being decided at runtime. I am able to use reflection here for one object but how to get list of object?

  foreach (CloudDBTableList table in cloudDBTableList)
            {                
               string uri = string.Format(table.URI, "1-Jan-2011");
               string result  = _dataPullSvcAgent.GetData (baseURI + uri);


               string tableClassType = table.TableName + ", " + namespacePrefix;//namespacePrefix is same as assembly name.
               Type t = Type.GetType(tableClassType);
               JavaScriptSerializer jsonDeserializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
//t is only type of object whereas below method returns List<t> how to put it?
               var objectList = jsonDeserializer.Deserialize(result, t);

            }
            return true;
        }

Stackoverflow Rocks. Found answer from this question(though below question was bit dfferent from mine):-

How to dynamically create generic C# object using reflection? I modified my code like this:-

 foreach (CloudDBTableList table in cloudDBTableList)
            {                
               string uri = string.Format(table.URI, "1-Jan-2011");
               string result  = _dataPullSvcAgent.GetData (baseURI + uri);


               string tableClassType = namespacePrefix + "." + table.SchemaName + "." + table.TableName + ", " + namespacePrefix;//namespacePrefix is same as assembly name.
               Type t = Type.GetType(tableClassType);
               JavaScriptSerializer jsonDeserializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
               var L1 = typeof(List<>);
               Type listOfT = L1.MakeGenericType(t);
               var objectList = jsonDeserializer.Deserialize(result, listOfT);


            }

You should be able to do something like this:

JavaScriptSerializer jsonDeserializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
List<CloudDBTableList > list= jsonDeserializer.Deserialize<List<CloudDBTableList>>(cloudDBTableList);
