Can I use Activator.CreateInstance with an Interface?

Question

I have an example:

        Assembly asm = Assembly.Load(\"ClassLibrary1\");
        Type ob = asm.GetType(\"ClassLibrary1.UserControl1\");
        UserContro         


        

Answer 1

You cannot create instance of an interface, but if

UserControl1 implements ILoad inteface

you can use resulting object as ILoad

ILoad uc = (ILoad)Activator.CreateInstance(ob);
grd.Children.Add(uc);

Moreover, you do not need to treat it via interface, if you write

UserControl1 uc = (UserControl1)Activator.CreateInstance(ob);
grd.Children.Add(uc);

Members of ILoad would be callable as uc.SomeILoadMethod();
