How do I create a dynamic COM/OLE/ActiveX object in C# 4.0 from a program identifier or ProgID (such as "Word.Application") without referencing a library?
In C# 3.5 I'd have to write something like
Type comObjectType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID(progId, true);
Activator.CreateInstance(comObjectType);
Is there an easier way to do it in C# 4.0 so I can assign it to a variable of type dynamic (using the dynamic keyword)?
What's wrong with
dynamic myTypeInstance = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID(typeName, true));
?
If it's a known type name, there's also
dynamic myTypeInstance = Activator.CreateInstance("typeName", "assemblyName");
