I want to cast an object that I have created from a typename to the
corresponding type. Can anycone tell me how to do this?
Example:
//Here, Create the object of type "MyClass"
object obj=Activator.CreateInstance(strAssemblyName, "MyClass");
//Now, I want to do something like ((MyClass)obj).Method
//Can I do this?
