How can I get generic Type from a string representation?

Question

I have MyClass.

And then I have this string s = \"MyClass\";. How can I get Type from the string s

Answer 1

I don't have much time to parse through this, though I think I have seen some similar answers. In particular, I think they are doing exactly what you want to do here:

Entity Framework Generic Repository Error

(String.Format("[{0}]", baseType.Name.ToString())).OfType();

Hopefully this helps, let me know more specifically if this isn't.
