Get class by string value

Question

I have an abstract class with a few derived class

public abstract class MyObject
{
    public string name { get; set; }
    public bool IsObject(string pattern);         


        

Answer 1

It can be done using Reflection like this...

    public object getInstance(string assemblyName, string className, object[] constructorParameters)
    {
        System.Reflection.Assembly asm = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(assemblyName);
        return asm.CreateInstance(className, false, System.Reflection.BindingFlags.CreateInstance, null, constructorParameters, null, null);
    }

assemblyName - full path + assembly name

className - fully qualified class name
