Question

I Trying to Create Instance by Using String name i.e a class name bt GetType method returns null

namespace DocSys
{
  public class Documents
  {
   Control ctlControl = new Control();
    //strProgID= DocCtl.Button
   Type type = Type.GetType(strProgID);  // null Value in Type type
   ctlControl  = (Control)Activator.CreateInstance(t);
  }
}

At present strProgID contains DocCtl.Button (Button is a user control and it namespace is DocCtl)

Can i create a object of strProgID

Answer 1

in-order to get that type from tha string you need to use the fully qualified name of that type , should be something like DocCtl.Button,AssemblyThatContainsThisNamespace
