Mr. X.

Hello.
In VB.NET (VS 2008) :
How can I resolve the control type, by knowing it's name only.
I.e : Panel.

Thanks :)

The name of the type or the name of a control?

Mr. X.

I have the name of type.
As the following code :
=================
dim s as string
dim t as type
s = "Panel"

I want that :
t = GetType(Panel)
(But on the following code, I have send a type parameter.
I want to send a string parameter).

How can I do that ?

Thanks :)

The name "panel" is not unique. A class of that name can be
in many namespaces and in many assemblies (dlls). Therefore you
must specify more details.

Have a look here: (also read the parameter description)

Mr. X.

I looked, as your advise, at the links.
For the second one : I should do something for instance, because instance
should not be nothing.

I know the dlls (or the namespace) for the object.
I need an example, please. Specifically for Panel, in order to understand
something about.

Thanks :)
