reflection problem

[zeevgetner]

how can i do casting using reflection.
for examlple if i have a class in a DLL
i want in another aplication to load that class,
and assign it to a variable of type that the specific class
implements.

i cant do it,
i keep getting error.

could you post some code?

casting you do like this (OTTOMY unchecked):

ClassName instance = OtherClass.GetType().CreateInstance("ClassName") as ClassName;
if ( instance == null ) throw new Exception();

thank misterstick for your help
i found out what the problem was.

both the called class and the caller had reffrences to a base class.

i did kind of what you wrote but, i placed the called class in a diffrent librery from the caller.

so then when i called the class from the caller. the .net framework threated thir reffrences as diffrent even thow it were the same classes.
