What about one of these method of Activator: public static ObjectHandle CreateInstance( string assemblyName, string typeName, object[] activationAttributes );
or public static object CreateInstance( Type type, object[] args ); where the array let you pass arguments to the constructor of the object you want to instantiate. I you use the second one, you can first get the Type by reflection based on the name of the class expressed as a string (with the method GetType of the Assembly class). Would that be useful for what you want to do? Jerome > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Moderated discussion of advanced .NET topics.
