AppDomain::CreateInstanceAndUnwrap Method (String^, String^, array<Object^>^)

.NET Framework (current version)
 

Creates a new instance of the specified type. Parameters specify the assembly where the type is defined, the name of the type, and an array of activation attributes.

Namespace:   System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
Object^ CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(
	String^ assemblyName,
	String^ typeName,
	array<Object^>^ activationAttributes
)

Parameters

assemblyName
Type: System::String^

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

typeName
Type: System::String^

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

activationAttributes
Type: array<System::Object^>^

An array of one or more attributes that can participate in activation. Typically, an array that contains a single UrlAttribute object that specifies the URL that is required to activate a remote object.

This parameter is related to client-activated objects.Client activation is a legacy technology that is retained for backward compatibility but is not recommended for new development. Distributed applications should instead use Windows Communication Foundation.

Return Value

Type: System::Object^

An instance of the object specified by typeName.

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

assemblyName or typeName is null.

MissingMethodException

No matching public constructor was found.

TypeLoadException

typename was not found in assemblyName.

FileNotFoundException

assemblyName was not found.

MethodAccessException

The caller does not have permission to call this constructor.

NotSupportedException

The caller cannot provide activation attributes for an object that does not inherit from MarshalByRefObject.

AppDomainUnloadedException

The operation is attempted on an unloaded application domain.

BadImageFormatException

assemblyName is not a valid assembly.

-or-

Version 2.0 or later of the common language runtime is currently loaded and assemblyName was compiled with a later version.

FileLoadException

An assembly or module was loaded twice with two different evidences.

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.

System_CAPS_noteNote

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.
