Activator.CreateInstance(assemblyName, typeName) would work. You could also
use the various GetType (Type.GetType, Assembly.GetType, etc) methods.

Yes, that worked great.  Thanks.

Now I have another similar question...

How can I reverse the process and pass a type to a generic method when all
I
have is a string?

so..

using my same method signature...

public virtual ItemType CreateSomething<ItemType>(...) where ItemType:
BaseSomething, New(){

...

}

How could I create a type that I could call this method with? or is that
even possible?

Thanks,
Mike
