C# - Create An Instance Of A Web Control Using Reflection?
Oct 20, 2010
How can I create an instance of a web control at runtime using reflection? I created a series of controls that implement a common interface and I would like to create these controls based on the name of the control which is stored in my database.
I have attempted (and failed) to create an instance of these controls using Activator.CreateInstance in the following ways:
Activator.CreateInstance("MyUserControl")
and
Activator.CreateInstance("ASP","controls_myusercontrol_ascx")
...and both return null.
I've also attempted to simply get the type of the control by trying..
Type t = Type.GetType("controls_myusercontrol_ascx");
and
Type t = Type.GetType("MyUserControl");
...and it returns null.
If I explicitly declare an object as controls_myusercontrol_ascx or MyUserControl, there is no issue -- but it can't be found with reflection.
Is it possible to create web user controls using reflection at run time? If so, how can I?

I have a function that at the moment takes a Type variable. This function sticks it in a list and such and eventually needs will create a class of that type. Right now I do that with
object o=MyType.GetConstructors()[0].Invoke(new object[0]);
which is pretty hacky and also will not work in medium trust due to reflection(I think). Is there a better way of doing this without reflection? The Type is defined this way as part of a function. I need the class to be created "lazily" because it may not be created in the application if it's not needed. I use it for example like
AddToList(typeof(Whatever));
Note, I'm open to suggestions on changing the function calling. I just need the object to be created lazily and for to store the type(or however to create an object of the type) in a list.

I am trying to create a generic list of objects using reflection. The below code throws an error Cannot create an instance of an interface. . I could change the IList to List and it works fine, but I was wondering if there is way to get this working with an IList.
var name = typeof (IList<T>).AssemblyQualifiedName;
Type type = Type.GetType(name);
var list = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

As some may be aware, I recently posted about high memory usage on my website and I have an idea that my thumbnailer may have something to do with this as I am not actively disposing of the instance when it has been used due to my misunderstanding how it works.
I am now looking at my code for the thumbnailer and would like some advice on when something would actually need disposing of, is it ONLY when you create a new instance of an object?
Like:
Target := System.Drawing.Bitmap.Create(Trunc(Width), Trunc(Height));
MyImage := Target.FromFile(PhotoPath);
So, my question would be, do I need to dispose of both Target and MyImage to make sure the GC does what it needs to do properly?

A instance of a class is created in the partial class of an aspx page.Under page_load or button click method I'm trying to set the value to the class. but when each postback takes place new instance is created and I'm losing the previous value.
public partial class DatabaseSelection : System.Web.UI.Page
{
DBProperties dbpro;
Metadata obmeta;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
dbpro = new DBProperties();
}

I have a few classes: SomeClass1, SomeClass2.
How can I create a new instance of one of these classes by using the class name from a string?
Normally, I would do:
var someClass1 = new SomeClass1();
How can I create this instance from the following:
var className = "SomeClass1";
I am assuming I should use Type.GetType() or something

i'm a beginner web programmer. I've been coding desktop applications primarily. Right now, i have created this web app, in Silverlight, that uses a web service of my own for querying the database. The thing is, one of the app functionalities is the ability to open PDF files. I know that silverlight won't let you do this, but using an IFrame on top of the silverlight application you are able to display a page with de pdf file (using acrobat plug in). So here's the problem, my silverlight app passes the pdf path to the web service and, in return, the web service would create a new Page and pass the new page URI back so that it can be displayed on the IFrame:

I have a UserControl that I need to add dynamically. I tried to follow this MSDN article, but I'm not having any success....[URL]
The UserControl is basically an image gallery, and it loads some pictures based on an ID. My idea was to make this ID available as a property. Then when I create an instance of the control, I could set this ID and add it to the form.
I added a reference to the control in the .aspx page that will use it, like this:
<%@ Reference Control="~/PictureGallery.ascx" %>
And in the UserControl I added a ClassName like this:
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="PictureGallery.ascx.cs"
Inherits="PictureGallery" ClassName="PictureGallery" %>
When I try to create an instance in the .aspx.cs like the article suggests, Dim gallery As ASP.PictureGallery, I get an "Type ASP.PictureGallery is not defined".
The article mentions a namespace, ASP, and I tried importing it to the .aspx.cs with no luck. So, I'm not able to get a reference to the UserControl.

I'm trying to use MS IME on a server to retrieve some Japanese info in a silverlight app. The app accesses to the server by using WCF, but when calling a CoCreateInstance to create a IFELanguage2, it gives me -2147467262. The same code I'm using on the server actually works pretty fine on a WPF app.
Here is the code,
// ...omit
Guid imeGuid;
int errCode = Ole32.CLSIDFromString("MSIME.Japan", out imeGuid);
WinBase.CheckError(errCode);
Guid feLangIID = new Guid(Constants.IID_IFELanguage2);
IntPtr ppv;
errCode = Ole32.CoCreateInstance(imeGuid, IntPtr.Zero, Ole32.CLSCTX.CLSCTX_ALL, feLangIID, out ppv);
WinBase.CheckError(errCode); // errCode is 2147467262
IFELanguage IfeLanguage = Marshal.GetTypedObjectForIUnknown(ppv, typeof(IFELanguage)) as IFELanguage;
errCode = IfeLanguage.Open();
WinBase.CheckError(errCode);
// ...omit
Do I need to setup anything to use the MS IME on a server side? I'm running the app on the following environment, IIS7 .NET Framework 4.0 Windows 7 pro 64 bit VS2010

In my GridView I use FindControl/<FooterTemplate> with a TextBox that you can enter an integer with a comma
into the TextBox, because I create an instance of the Textbox first and then remove the comma out of the integer before the TextBox is used to update the table in the database.
However once the data is in the table and displayed in the GridView if you try to change the integer and use a comma in the GridView you cannot because FindControl/<EditItemTemplate> will not create an instance for you to remove the comma from the integer before it updates the table because FindControl/<EditItemTemplate> doesn't allow you to create an instance of the TextBox first, instead when you try to use the instance that looks like was created it gives an error stating:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
So the question is:
HOw do you create an instance of a TextBox in a GridView when using FindControl/<EditItemTemplate>?
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
</div>
<asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server">

I am trying to come up with the best way to get only certain properties from a type using reflection. How can I differentiate the properties from each other?
I understand that I can use binding flags or name. But say I want only a certain four properties. Would the best way be to create a custom attribute for the ones I want then loop through all of the properties to see if they have that attribute?
