public:
static Type^ GetTypeFromString(
	Type^ relativeType, 
	String^ typeName, 
	bool throwOnError, 
	bool ignoreCase
)

Parameters

relativeType

Type: SystemType
A sibling type to use to load the type.

typeName

Type: SystemString
The name of the type to load.

throwOnError

Type: SystemBoolean
Flag set to true to throw an exception if the type cannot be loaded.

ignoreCase

Type: SystemBoolean
true to ignore the case of the type name; otherwise, false

Return Value

If the type name is fully qualified, i.e. if contains an assembly name in the type name, the type will be loaded from the system using GetType(String, Boolean).

If the type name is not fully qualified, it will be loaded from the assembly containing the specified relative type. If the type is not found in the assembly then all the loaded assemblies will be searched for the type.
