System.Type.Get Type();

[Josh]

Hi Guys,
I have hit a wall with the my project... The problem is that i need to get
the type of a usercontrol that is not in the assembly of the page that is
tryiong to call it. if anyone knows of how to fix this please let me know.

c.setComponentP roperties(Reque st.QueryString["pageID"],"1");
classname = c.cSrc;
t = System.Type.Get Type(classname) ;
uc = (UserControl)Ac tivator.CreateI nstance(t);
ctl =
uc.LoadControl( System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings["virtualPat h"]
+ classname.Subst ring(classname. LastIndexOf("." ) + 1) + ".ascx");

t.GetProperty(" ComponentID").S etValue(ctl,c.c ID.ToString(),n ull);
PlaceHolder phPlaceHolder1 =
(PlaceHolder)th is.FindControl( "Form1").FindCo ntrol("PlaceHol der1");
phPlaceHolder1. Controls.Clear( );
phPlaceHolder1. Controls.Add(ct l);
string mode = "edit";
litContentBegin .Text = "<div id=\"con\"
onMouseOver=\"s howEditableArea (this);\"
onMouseOut=\"hi deEditableArea( this);\"
onClick=\"editC omponent('../siteadmin/components.aspx ?mode=" + mode +
"&placeholderID =" + "1" + "&pageID=" +
Request.QuerySt ring["pageID"].ToString() + "');\">";
litContentEnd.T ext = "</div>";

Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh:

I'm not sure what you are trying to do exactly by looking at the code
excerpt, or what is going wrong (is there an exception or error
message?). However, I strongly suspect you don't want to be using
Type.GetType and Activator.Creat eInstance. If you just pass the ascx
file name to Page.LoadContro l you'll get back a reference to a user
control that is instantiated and ready to be placed on a page. As it
stands it looks like you are discarding this reference.
