c# - how to pass a string value to a type of expression? -

public void invoke(string methodname) {     string funcname=methodname.split('.')[1];      //funcname contains value of customercontroller     type type = typeof(funcname);      methodinfo method = type.getmethod(funcname);     customercontroller c = new customercontroller();     string result = (string)method.invoke(c, null); } 

in need pass string value typeof expression class name. i’m getting compile time error. in above code

type type = typeof(funcname); 

here funcname contains value "customercontroller". if replace below line works fine.

type type = typeof(customercontroller); 

how can pass string value typeof expression?

you can use type.gettype

type.gettype(classname); 

you have give full class name. if class defined in assembly need specify name of assembly name.

type.gettype("name.space.classname"); type.gettype("name.space.classname, otherassemblyname"); 

if nested class can specify name +

type.gettype("name.space.classname+nestedclassname, otherassemblyname");
