Hi;

We want to give our users an interface and they then create a class from it
and build it in a DLL. We would then have the user put the name of the DLL
and class in their app.config file.

How do we then instantiate an object of that class?

Hi Dave,

Please see this article:

Basically you need to load the assembly and get the type, then use
Activator.CreateInstance() to create an instance.
