Question

I’m attempting to use Assembly.GetType(‘MyCompany.Class1.Class2’) to dynamically get a type from a string.

Assembly.GetType('MyCompany.Class1'); 

works as expected.

If I embed a class within another class such as:

namespace MyCompany {   public class Class1   {      //.....      public class Class2      {         //.....      }   } } 

and try to get the type Class2

Assembly.GetType('MyCompany.Class1.Class2')  

will return a null.

I’m using the .NET Frameworks 3.5 SP1

Does anyone know what I’m doing incorrectly and what I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance

You need the Plus sign to get Nested Classes to be mapped using Assembly.GeType.

 Assembly.GetType('MyCompany.Class1+Class2');
