Hi Brock
Yeah typeof would certainly do the trick, the problem is my page has a
drop-down control with ListItems as:
<option value="Company.Project.Objects.ObjectA">ObjectA</option>
From the SelectedValue property I wish to create the type, as I mentioned,
ASP.NET 2 compilation model means that ObjectA won't be compiled until
invoked (assuming this is correct).
After some digging around, I found the aspnet_compiler.exe. This allows for
pre-compiled code of the App_code folder. So now I can use
Type t = Type.GetType("Company.Project.Objects.ObjectA");
Which returns the correct type. I'm yet to find holes in this approach
which is a good sign.

Well, I don't know what you're tying to do exactly. My first thought when
I saw your original post was "Why don't you just use typeof(Company.AppName.Objects.ObjectA)"

Hi Brock
Do you have any suggestions on how I can make this functionality work
for me under ASP.NET v2?

This wouldn't work in any environment since you don't have the
assembly specified in GetType. GetType expects a parameter like
"Namespace.Class, Assembly".

Hi
I have a class in the App_Code location of my web project.
example:
namespace Company.AppName.Objects {
public class ObjectA {
public ObjectA(){
}
public void DoSomething() {
}
}
}
In a web page I want to dynamically get the type of this class like
so:
Type t = Type.GetType("Company.AppName.Objects.ObjectA");
However this code will return a null null object, due to the
compilation model of ASP.NET 2, it basically can't find the dll to
load the type. ASP.NET 1.x didn't have this problem because the
code-behind was represented in a single dll.
Apart from say putting ObjectA into it's own project thus dll, does
anyone know of a way around this?
