Get object from string

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a type name in XML file as a string and I need to make an instance
form it.
I tried:
Assembly asm = Assembly.Load(".....smo.dll");
object obj = asm.Create("SqlDataType.NVarChar");


The variable obj is always null.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Lubomir

Hi,

How is your type described?
Does it has the full namespace paath?

SQLDataType is an enumeration defined in microsoft.sqlserver.smo.dll

Hi,

I have never tried that. Basically you want to create a variable to be a
member of an enumerator.
If that is the case I think you should use Enum.Parse( ".....SqlDataType",
"NVarChar");
