Remarks
This method allows DDEX providers to customize resolution of types referenced from dynamic locations such as XML files. The base class implementation tries to locate a comma separating the type name from its qualifying assembly, and if found, calls the GetAssembly method with the assembly qualifier and, if found, tries to retrieve the type from this assembly. Otherwise it calls GetAssembly with an empty string and, if found, tries to get the type from this assembly. Finally if the type is still not found, it calls the standard GetType method and returns the result of this call.
