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

I got it to work this way:

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class Test
{
    public String X { get; set; }

    Test(String x)
    {
        this.X = x;
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Type type = typeof(Test);

        ConstructorInfo c = type.GetConstructor(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance, 
            null, new Type[] { typeof(String) }, null);

        Object o = c.Invoke(new Object[] { "foo" });
    }
}

The trick was to go after the constructor specifically with GetConstructor rather then trying to find it in the results of GetConstructors. Go figure.
