convert a string to type for passing into a generic

S

Simon

I'm pulling data from an xml file, one field of which is the datatype
for passing into a generic class. The problem is how to get that
string from xml into a valid argument for CustomCollection<T>.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
Simon

Hi,

Take a look at either AppDomain.CreateInstance or Assembly.CreateInstance
