Parameters

relativeAssembly: Type: System.Reflection.Assembly
An assembly to load the type from.

typeName: Type: System.String
The name of the type to load.

throwOnError: Type: System.Boolean
Flag set to true to throw an exception if the type cannot be loaded.

ignoreCase: Type: System.Boolean
true to ignore the case of the type name; otherwise, false

Return Value

Type:

Type
The type loaded or null if it could not be loaded.

Remarks

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, bool).

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.
