How to create instance of class from string?

Question

Hi I have a string which contains the namespace and name of a class... eg. MyProject.Classes.MyClass; I need to create an instance of this class. Normally would do like this: Object obj = new MyProject.Classes.MyClass(); But how do I create it from the string instead? Is it even possible?? Thanks! M

You can do this using Reflection and Activator. Check this out: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/1/Reflection_in_net.asp http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemactivatorclasscreateinstancetopic.asp Cheers Yasser
