Opening form based on user input form name

Question

I have a startup screen that shows a list of forms in a Data Grid View. The user double clicks on one of the names and I want to open the form with that name. To open a form, I have to do this: FormName frm = new FormName(); frm.Show(); But if the name of the form is decided by user input, how do I open that form?

Please try the following code: private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { ObjectHandle o = Activator.CreateInstance(null CreateFormBasedOnUserInput.Form2); if (o.Unwrap() is Form) { (o.Unwrap() as Form).ShowDialog(); } }
