hi friends,

            i got stuck with a problem. in my component i have one method which will create an instance of the componentname and class we passed. code is here:

Public Function CreateComponentInstance(ByVal strComponentName As String, ByVal strclassName As String) As Object

Try

'Here append the class name with the component name.

Dim sbTypeName As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder("")

sbTypeName.Append(strComponentName)

sbTypeName.Append(".")

sbTypeName.Append(strclassName)

Dim sTypeName As String = sbTypeName.ToString()

'Load the Assembly and get the Type of it.

Dim objAssembly As System.Reflection.Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(strComponentName)

Dim objType As Type = objAssembly.GetType(sTypeName)

'Pass the type to the method and get the instance.

Dim objReturn As Object = System.Activator.CreateInstance(objType)

Return objReturn

Catch ex As Exception

Throw New Exception(String.Format("Component Error", ex.Message))

End Try

End Function

while testing this method i am getting an error. i created a class file with assembly name as testApp. and class name as testApp. then i gave the strong name for the assembly and registered in the GAC. after that i refered that component in my test web app.

then i tried to call my method like this

using testApp;

testApp.testApp otestApp = (testApp.testApp)mycomponentObj.CreateComponentIns tance("testApp","testApp");

i am getting an error saying file or assembly name testApp, or one of its dependencies was not found.

can any one help me out to solve the problem?...

thanks in advance
