Activator.CreateInstance

[Guest]

In the example below i create a new object which is of SqlParameter type.

SqlParameter sqlParameter = new SqlParameter();
object newObject = Activator.CreateInstance(sqlParameter.GetType(), false);

How can I do the same thing but from a string defining the type ie. the type
i need to create my new object in is displayed as a string... is there code
that could do this...
sting targetObject = "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter"
object newObject = Activator.CreateInstance(targetObject.GetType(), false);

many thanks CR

Check out System.Type.GetType or System.Reflection.Assembly.GetType.
