Creating an object using a type variable

[Ramez]

Hi
I need to create an object of a class using a type variable.
for example, instead of writing:
X = new MyClass
I want to write something like:
Dim t as Type = GetType(MyClass)
X = CreateObjectFromType(t)

is this possible?

Yes:

X = System.Activator.CreateInstance(t)

Yes:

\\\
Dim b As Button = _
DirectCast(Activator.CreateInstance(GetType(Button )), Button)
