Fully Qualified Assembly Name

[Gravy]

Hi

Is there an easy way to decode type names from a config file. For example I have the following element in my config file:

<MyElement type = "myassembly, myclass" />

I want to get the assembly name from this string and then get the class name once the assembly has been loaded. The assembly name may also be a fully qualified name, i.e. has Version and PublicKey info.

Thanks for your help

<MyElement type = "myassembly, myclass" />

The order should be "myclass, myassembly". To "decode" it, you can
simply take everything before the first comma as the type name, and
everything after it as the assembly name.
