.Net Late Binding Forms

[RealQuiet]

I am writing an MDI application that dynamically builds a menu structure from a database. In order to do this, I need to late bind the child forms based on the menu information in the database. This is what I have so far.

Dim frmTemp as New Object
Dim asTest as System.Reflection.Assembly

asTest = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("TestMDIFormDLL&quot
frmTemp = Activator.CreateInstance(a.GetType("frmTestMDI&quot)
frmTemp.mdiparent = Me
frmTemp.Show()

The assembly 'TestMDIFormDLL' is loaded, and frmTestMDI is a public class in that assembly, but when I try to do the GetType I get the following error:
An unhandled exception of Type 'System.ArgumentNullException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Value cannot be null
Any help on this would be appreciated.

I mistyped a line in the previous post. The fourth line should read:
frmTemp = Activator.CreateInstance(asTest.GetType("frmTestMDI&quot)
