You can use
Activator.CreateInstance(Type)
Or one of the other overloads if you need to pass in constructor
parameters.

Subject: HOWTO: Create object from type?
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
