I have a few classes: SomeClass1, SomeClass2.

How can I create a new instance of one of these classes by using the class name from a string?

Normally, I would do:

var someClass1 = new SomeClass1();

How can I create this instance from the following:

var className = "SomeClass1";

I am assuming I should use Type.GetType() or something but I can't figure it out.

Thanks.
