How do I create an object of unknown type
like this example do in Java
http://www.churchillobjects.com/c/11042b.html

look at the overloaded Activator.CreateInstance method.
you can also use the vb6 CreateObject method
there should be some examples in the MSDN help for these methods..

hope this helps..
