You can also use this:

Form GetFormByName(string name)
    {
        System.Reflection.Assembly myAssembly =System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
        foreach(Type type in myAssembly.GetTypes())
        {
            if (type.BaseType!=null&& type.BaseType.FullName == "System.Windows.Forms.Form")
            {
                if (type.FullName == name)
                {
                    var form = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(name)) as Form;
                    return form;
                }
            }
        }
            return null;

    }
