How to get a Type object from Type's name?

Question

Hi all.

This is my code:

using System.Windows.Forms;

Type type = typeof(Form);
Type type2 = Type.GetType(type.FullName);

As a result: type2==null

What I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Maybe you could try:

Type type2 = Type.GetType(type.AssemblyQualifiedName);
