Activator.CreateInstance with private sealed class

Question

I\'m trying to new up a LocalCommand instance which is a private class of System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommandSet. I seem to be able to grab the type information just fine:

Answer 1

My first thought would be to get the ConstructorInfo using ConstructorInfo constructorInfo = Type.GetConstructor(), and then constructorInfo.Invoke() that. I suspect that Activator.CreateInstance makes it hard to call constructors you wouldn't normally have access to, although I don't remember trying it myself.
