String Value to Variable

Question

Here is scenario

string dataTypeName = "Employee";

where Employee is class and i want to make an object of it.

Type EmployeeObject = Type.GetType(dataTypeName);

Now i want to instantiate an object of Employee like this

EmployeeObject emp1 = new Employee();

Is it Possible. But this method is not working. I don't have strong idea of Reflection. Please Guide me.

What is the value of - `typeof(Employee).AssemblyQualifiedName`? What is the need to get `EmployeeObject` from the name, and then instansiate it with a literal type anyway - why not just use the literal type in the first place? — LukeHennerley, May 28 '13 at 11:01
