Could not load file or assembly

Question

Hi guys,

I'm tring to create a generic collection of dynamic type at runtime of Silverlight application. My code:

Type listType = Type.GetType("System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection`1[[" + type.AssemblyQualifiedName + "]], System.Windows, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e", true);

type - is variable of Type type. That Type is creating at runtime. At that code line I've got error: Could not load file or assembly ', Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

How can I resolve that error?

Use MakeGenericType instead:

Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(ObservableCollection<>).MakeGenericType(type));
