Is there any way to create an instance of type Type when all that is
known is the FullName of the type? I was trying Type.GetType but that
requires an AssemblyQualifiedName. I don't have the assembly, just the
name of the class.

Dan,

No, it is not possible, you need the assembly name as well. The only
way you could create a type from the full name of the type without the
assembly name is to make the call to GetType in the assembly that the type
is located in. Otherwise, you need the assembly qualified name of the type
as well.

Hope this helps.
