I need to make something like: Type CustomType = Type.GetType(instanceName); It always returns null.

I need to make something like:

Type CustomType = Type.GetType("instanceName");

It always returns null. instanceName is a string which represents a type contained in a dll added to References (with copyLocal property set to false).

I also tried:

Type CustomType = Type.GetType("instanceName, dllFile.dll");

But also returns null.

Thanks a lot

    If the assembly is already loaded you could try this:

    Type customType = Type.GetType("namespace.typename, assembly");
