You can use the System.Activator class, or reflection to get the particular constructor you want, then invoke that constructor.

Hello all, In C#, how can I create an object whoose type is not known until run-time? I need something similar to MFC's "RUNTIME_CLASS(CXxx).CreateObject()". I expect it to look something like this, where the method will then create an instance of the class and work with it. public void ShowDialog(Type dialogClass) { if (!dialogClass.IsSubclassOf(typeof(Dialog))) throw new ApplicationException("Invalid type"); . . . } Regards Henrik You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
