Trying to specify the assembly name like this:

Type.GetType(string.Format("{0}.{1}, {0}", widget.Assembly, widget.Class));

Throws this:

The requested assembly version conflicts with what is already bound in the app domain or specified in the manifest

Trying it without the the assembly:

Type.GetType(string.Format("{0}.{1}", widget.Assembly, widget.Class));

Returns null.

I am looking for a way to instantiate a class using it's fully qualified name in Silverlight 4.0. Thanks.
