Answer 1

You need to use reflection.

Opening a form is creating an instance of it, you need to create the instance and show it.

You are going to need the name of the form and its namespace.

string formName= textbox.Text;
string namespaceName = "MyNamespace.MyInternalNamespace";

Then you create your instance with activator.

var frm= Activator.CreateInstance(namespaceName, formName) as Form;

And then you just need to show the form

frm.show();
