You'll have the problem to know the specific class at compile time no matter whether you use generics or inheritance. If you want access to specific methods of the published then I suggest you to either have that class implement an interface or to have it inherit from a common base class that you can check for using "is" (yes, a generic can inherit from a normal class without problems).
