Object creation question

[S Dass]

In VB6 I sometimes use the following to create objects

Dim myObj as ICustomInterface
Set moObj = CreateObject("myLibrary.CConcreteClass1")

where ICustomInterface is set to public, not creatable and CConcreteClass1
is set to private.
I tend to use this within a class factory that returns various implementations
of an interface depending on values sent to the class factory.
I am new to VB.Net and I have not seen any examples of creating objects from
strings.
How is this type of object creation done in VB.Net (or C#) ?

Hi S,

have a look at System.Activator.CreateInstance
