sTypeName = ... //do some string stuff here to get the name of the type
/*
The Assembly.CreateInstance function returns a type
of System.object. I want to type cast it to
the type whose name is sTypeName.
assembly.CreateInstance(sTypeName)
So, in effect I want to do something like:
*/
assembly.CreateInstance(sTypeName) as Type.GetType(sTypeName);
How do I do that? And, what do I take on the left side of the assignment expression, assuming this is C# 2.0. I don't have the var keyword.
