Question

Is there a way to create a object without the use of new keyword in C# some thing like class.forname();
in java.

I want to dynamically create a object of a class. The object creation may depend on the users input.
I have a base class x and there are 5 subclasses (a,b,c,d,e) of it. My user input will be a or b or…e class names. Using this I need to create a object of that class.How do I do this

Answer 1

you can use the Activator class.

Type type = typeof(MyClass);
object[] parameters = new object[]{1, "hello", "world" };
object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(type, parameters);
MyClass myClass = obj as MyClass;
