System.Type.Get Type problem

What am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to get a type object for a type which is not currently
loaded in my project (otherwise I'd use "typeof").

System.Type oType = System.Type.Get Type("SomeNames pace.SomeType") ;

But oType is always "<undefined value>" after this line.

Any help is much appreciated.

You say "not currently loaded in my project." That would be why it is returning null. Are you loading the assembly the type is
located in at runtime? It has to know somehow what that type is.

I've tried that - even though I had hoped to get away from loading it
- even when the assembly is loaded I still get "undefined value" for
oType:

System.Type oType = System.Type.Get Type("SomeNames pace.SomeType") ;

You must include the assembly name too, otherwise the runtime doesn't
know where the type is implemented
Type.GetType("S omeNamespace.So meType, YourAsmName, Version=1.2.3.4 ,
Culture=null, PublicKeyToken= 0123456789ABCDE F");

I want to expose properties of a class to a user via a PropertyGrid class. Some of the properties are of type System.IO.FileInfo. Ideally, an OpenFileDialog window would appear when the user attempted to edit the value of the System.IO.FileInfo properties. Is there an existing UITypeEditor that will do this type of thing, or will I need to create my own Thanks Lance

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
