Based on calling time Type, have to return the list of the same type

Hi All,

The objective is simple. Based on calling time Type, have to return
the list of the same type

I am having the following classes. In static List<T> getList<T>(),
just I am trying to return the list of classes whatever I am
determining at the calling time, Say Product. The problem is I am not
able to add Product to List<T>. If try to return List<Product>,
obviously, we cannot due to return type mismatch. How can I add
Product (or any other class) to the List<T>?

The code is as below

namespace LinqApplication1
{

public class Customer
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string PhoneNo { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }

public override string ToString()
{
string _toString="Customer Id: {0} Name: {1} Phone
No: {2} City: {3}";
return string.Format(_toString, Id, Name, PhoneNo, City);
}
}

class Order
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public Customer Customer { get; set; }
public Product Product { get; set; }
public double Quantity { get; set; }
}

class Product
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public double Price { get; set; }
}

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
List<Product> ProductList= getList<Product>();
Console.ReadLine();
}

static List<T> getList<T>()
{
Console.WriteLine(typeof(T).Name);
List<T> list = new List<T>();
var type = typeof(T);
switch (type.Name)
{
case "Product":
{
Product pdt = new Product { Id = 1, Name =
"Soap", Price = 10.0 };
list.Add(pdt);
break;
}
default:
return list;
}
return list;
}
}
}

Suggestion pls....
