How do i load a user control by class name in a windows application.
I see asp has a LoadControl function. Is there anything like taht for a

Is this what you are after?

Type t = Type.GetType("AppName.UserControl1");
UserControl o = (UserControl) Activator.CreateInstance(t);
Controls.Add(o);

I was hoping that would work. That is EXACTLY what I needed but variable 't"
always comes back null.

string Filename = Application.StartupPath + \\Mytest.dll;

Assembly Asm = Assembly.LoadFile(Filename)

Type t = Type.GetType("MyNamespace.MyClass");



t is always null!!!!!!
