Assembly.CreateInstance invalid cast Exception.

[elguaro]

Hi All

I'm trying to dynamically create an instance of a class. I managed to do it when that class is in the same assembly of the project I'm running, but can't get it to work when the class I want to dynamically create is in a different assembly. I've tried in many different ways, always getting the same result: invalid cast exception. This is one of the ways I'm trying:

Assembly myAssembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(somepath);
Object obj = MyAssembly.CreateInstance(
"MyNamespace.MyClass"
MyNamespace.MyClass myClass = (MyNamespace.MyClass)obj;

In the third line I get the invalid cast exception.
Just for debugging purposes I have another variable:

MyNamespace.MyClass testClass = new MyNamespace.MyClass();

If I see the type of obj it is MyNamespace.MyClass, but if I do testClass.GetType().Equals(obj.GetType()) in the command window it returns false!

Any sort of help will be highly appreciated.

It returned true for me..but i was not able to look into the exception part..

Thanks. I got working by loading the assembly using it's full name instead of the path ...
