gettype

Trying to specify the assembly name like this:

Type.GetType(string.Format("{0}.{1}, {0}", widget.Assembly, widget.Class));

Throws this:

The requested assembly version conflicts with what is already bound in the app domain or specified in the manifest

Trying it without the the assembly:

Type.GetType(string.Format("{0}.{1}", widget.Assembly, widget.Class));

Returns null.

I am looking for a way to instantiate a class using it's fully qualified name in Silverlight 4.0. Thanks.

there is a statement in the CLR via C# saying in C#, one class cannot disguise to be another, because GetType is virutal and thus it cannot be override but I think in C# we can still hide the parent implementation of GetType. I must missed something if I hide the base GetType implementation then… >>> More
