create object, knowing it's type at run-time?

[Lukasz Lacki]

how can i create object declaring it's class during run-time?

fe. i ask user for classname.
after he enters, i'll need to do something like this:

IMyInterface obj = (IMyInterface)System.createObject("EnteredClassNam e");

of course i assume that EnteredClassName implements IMyInterface.

I think you're looking for Activator.CreateInstance.

Use:

IMyInterface obj = (IMyInterface)Activator.CreateInstance("Assemblyna me",
"ClassName").Unwrap();
