Can reflection be used internally to create a class instance based on an
input string containing the class name? Something somewhat similar to the
code below however typeof takes a type as an argument, not a string.
Activator.CreateInstance seems to require that a reference to the
containing .dll is obtained. I'm interested in creating an instance of a
class defined in the same assembly as the creator method based on an input
string that matches the class name.
// Some dll
public abstract class InstanceCreator
{
public static InstanceCreator GetObject(string type)
{
return typeof(type); // return type with name corresponding to
input string
}
}
public class SomeClass1
{
}
public class SomeClass2
{
}
// end some dll
