Question

I’m using the .NET CF 3.5. The type I want to create does not have a default constructor so I want to pass a string to an overloaded constructor. How do I do this?

Code:

Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom('my.dll'); Type t = a.GetType('type info here'); // All ok so far, assembly loads and I can get my type  string s = 'Pass me to the constructor of Type t'; MyObj o = Activator.CreateInstance(t); // throws MissMethodException 

Answer 1

MyObj o = null; Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom('my.dll'); Type t = a.GetType('type info here');  ConstructorInfo ctor = t.GetConstructor(new Type[] { typeof(string) }); if(ctor != null)    o = ctor.Invoke(new object[] { s });
