Open a form using a string

[Guest]

Hi all,
is there any way to open a form (create an instance) when its name is stored
in a string variable?

By the way, in other post, someone wrote that datagrid is mostly used with
datasets/datatables rather than arraylists. My question is, in either cases I
must set up columns, don't I? (assuming I want to personalize those columns)

TIA,
DC

Dim frm As Form = _
DirectCast( _
