    <p>The problem is with your idea that assembly name is a part of your class name. True you need access to your assembly, but ultimately a class name is just <code>Namespace.Class</code> name. If you provide your actual namespace along with the class, then it works. Change your method to this, perhaps:</p> <pre><code>private static T CreateInstance&lt;T&gt;(string fullyQualifiedClassName) { try { return (T)Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(fullyQualifiedClassName)); } catch (Exception ex) { clsAdmFunctions.RecordException(ex); // Record error to the database MessageBox.Show("Error instantiating the object\n\nDescription : " + ex.Message, "Object Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error); return default(T); } } </code></pre> <p>In other words you need the namespace too if you're saving it in the database. Just save <code>class.GetType()</code> as such or <code>class.GetType().ToString()</code> after which you will see the namespace too saved. The reason is you can have classes with same name, <code>namespace1.Person</code> and <code>namespace2.Person</code> in the same assembly.</p> <p>If you need to read all the namespaces in an assembly, you can do:</p> <pre><code> foreach(var type in Assembly.WhateverAssembly().GetTypes()) //print type.Namespace; </code></pre> <p>You're stuck if you dont know the exact namespace. May be you can <strong>assume</strong> it to be </p> <pre><code>var namespace = Assembly.WhateverAssembly().GetTypes()[0].Namespace; </code></pre> <hr> <p>You need to have namespaces for your classes, doing otherwise is against .NET's design. If you really really want to have no namespaces for your Forms, you just need to specify just the class name, exclude the assembly name. Just call:</p> <pre><code>CreateInstance&lt;MyForm&gt;("MyForm"); </code></pre> <p>provided <code>MyForm</code> is <code>global</code> and the assembly is just the same. If forms are in different assembly, then load it first using <code>Assembly.Load</code> or <code>Assembly.LoadFrom</code> and then create instance.</p>

    1. COI understand what you are saying but i have deleted the explicit namespace declaration in every class, thus they should all be in the exact namespace, correct?

    2. CO@ReidGarwin I updated my answer. If there are no namespaces at all then they all belong to "global::" scope. If so you need not specify namespace, just passing the class name as such will do.

    3. COThank you, if (strObjectName.LastIndexOf(".") == -1) // If there is no '.' in the object name strObjectName = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name + "." + strObjectName; was what needed to go away... works great now.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
