Create an instance from assembly in the GAC...

[Programmer76]

Hi,

I am having a difficult time with referencing a dll in the GAC. I have signed and deployed the dll to the GAC and I can see it in there.

What I would like to do is create and instance of the class that is inside the dll.

During developing I have just had a refernce to the dll in my project and I was using the following code to create an instance

Type t = Type.GetType("MyNamespace.MyClass");
IMyClass a = (IMyClass)Activator.CreateInstance(t);

This worked fine...

How do I create an instance of an object that is in the GAC...I have seen many examples but nothing seems to work...

Any suggestions?

This is in regards to .NET 2.0 framework..

You shouldn't need the Activator class -- once you've added the reference to your project (and optionally included the namespace in your source file with the using keyword), all you should need is the new keyword to instantiate it.
