    Type

    I want to use a static method of a class using only the text name of the
    class and the text name of the method.

    The Assembly Name for this Static class is "DALLibrary "
    The Namespace name for the Static Class is "GL.DAL"
    The Class name of the Static class is "GL_ACCOUNT_TBL _DAL"

    I tried to create a "Type" object with the following set of instructions...

    string myclass = "DALLibrary.GL. DAL.GL_ACCOUNT_ TBL_DAL";
    Type myType = Type.GetType(my class);

    This returns "null". What is wrong with how I am constructing my "Type"?


    Thanks in advance for your assistance!!

      As it appears that GL_ACCOUNT_TBL_ DAL is in a different assembly, you
      need to pass the assembly qualified name to your GetType call. That
      format would like similar to:

      TopNamespace.Su bNameSpace.Cont ainingClass+Nes tedClass, MyAssembly,
      Version=1.3.0.0 , Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= b17a5c561934e08 9

          As my example shows, I am passing the assembly name...

              And as my reply shows in comparison, you are passing it incorrectly.
              Yours should look something like:

              GL.DAL.GL_ACCOU NT_TBL_DAL, DALLibrary, Version=<assemb ly version>,
              Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= <assembly public key>

              Replace <assembly versionwith the version of DALLibrary. Replace the
              neutral culture with the assembly culture if it has one. Replace
              <assembly public keywith the public key token for the assembly, or
              null if it doesn't have one. The basic format is:

              Namespace.Class , Assembly, Version, Culture, PublicKeyToken
