Check-out the Activator.CreateInstance methods and AppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap()
I find AppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap() to be a bit more useful. If your class will be in the same assembly and namespace then you can do something like: Dim o As Form = CType(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap (Assembly.GetCallingAssembly.FullName, (Me.GetType.Namespace + ".MyClass")),Form) o = CType(Activator.CreateInstance(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly.FullName, (Me.GetType.Namespace + ".MyClass")).Unwrap,Form) replacing ".MyClass" with the "." + variable; in your case. I would suggest including the namespace wherever you're storing the form type names to make it more flexible. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
