Dynamically creating a Form....

[jzamss]

Good Day to all.

 

I want to dynamically create a Windows Form using reflection. The test code below is what I used.

 

-------------------------

 

public Form CreateForm()

{

Control control = null;

Type t = Type.GetType("System.Windows.Forms.Form");

if(t != null)

{

control = (Control) Activator.CreateInstance(t);

}

return (Form) control;

}

 

 

-------------------------

 

 

When running the code, the error below is generated...

 

>>>> Could not load type System.Windows.Forms.Form

>>>> from assembly

 

 

Im still new to C# and hope you can give me your expert advice on this issue.

 

Best Regards..... :)

I think, you must give the GetType-Method

the name of the concrete Form:

E.g. if you have a class, which is derived from

System.Windoes.Forms.Form and which is called

"MyClass", then the code must look like this:

Type t = Type.GetType("MyClass");

 

This way should be the right one, I think.
