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

Parameters

relativeAssembly

Type: System.ReflectionAssembly
An assembly to load the type from.

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 specified assembly. If the type is not found in the assembly then all the loaded assemblies will be searched for the type.
