❔ System.Reflection
So I got a dll file that contains a class and its interface. What I want is to extract the class as an item than an instance.
So for example, if I have a dynamic variable of name "temp" and I wish to put the class which I extracted from dll by looping over GetExportedTypes() of the particular Assembly and putting value into "temp" when I get the preferred class, I want to be able to use it like
temp instance_of_clas = new temp();
like that, is that possible? if so, how to do it? if not, is there any alternative method (other than using Activator.CreateInstance()). My aim is not to get the instance, my aim is to get the class in such a way that I can create an instance using it.
