Not applicable.

Parameters

assemblyName

The display name of the assembly. See Assembly.FullName.

typeName

The fully qualified name of the requested type, including the namespace but not the assembly, as returned by the Type.FullName property.

ignoreCase

A Boolean value specifying whether to perform a case-sensitive search or not.

bindingAttr

A combination of zero or more bit flags that affect the search for the typeName constructor. If bindingAttr is zero, a case-sensitive search for public constructors is conducted.

binder

An object that enables the binding, coercion of argument types, invocation of members, and retrieval of MemberInfo objects using reflection. If binder is null, the default binder is used.

args

The arguments to pass to the constructor. This array of arguments must match in number, order, and type the parameters of the constructor to invoke. If the default constructor is preferred, args must be an empty array or null.

culture

A culture-specific object used to govern the coercion of types. If culture is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the CultureInfo for the current thread is used.

activationAttributes

An array of one or more attributes that can participate in activation. Typically, an array that contains a single UrlAttribute object. The UrlAttribute specifies the URL that is required to activate a remote object. For a detailed description of client-activated objects, see Client Activation.

securityAttributes

Information used to authorize creation of typeName.

Return Value

This is a convenience method that combines CreateInstance and ObjectHandle.Unwrap. This method calls the default constructor for typeName.

See AssemblyName for the format of assemblyName. See the Type.FullName property for the format of typeName.

Note:

If you make an early-bound call to a method M of an object of type T1 that was returned by CreateInstanceAndUnwrap, and that method makes an early-bound call to a method of an object of type T2 in an assembly C other than the current assembly or the assembly containing T1, assembly C is loaded into the current application domain. This loading occurs even if the early-bound call to T1.M() was made in the body of a DynamicMethod, or in other dynamically generated code. If the current domain is the default domain, assembly C cannot be unloaded until the process ends. If the current domain later attempts to load assembly C, the load might fail.

The following sample demonstrates the use of the ignoreCase parameter.
