Activator.CreateInstance question

[sean]

Hello

Is it possible to call Activator.Creat eInstance if the type is not compiled into an assembly. For instance if I drop a DLL into the same folder where executable is running, will the executable be able to create a type that is defined in this DLL

If not, what is the way to do this

-thanks

Re: Activator.Creat eInstance question

Yes, but you need to load the assembly into the app domain first. Or, use
the overload of CreateInstance that supports doing this in one swoop.
