How to get class type by its class name?

Question

namespace Myspace {     public class MyClass     {     } } //This class is in another file.  using Myspace; static void Main(string[] args) {     Regex regexViewModelKey = new Regex(RegularExpr.ViewModelKeyPattern);     string viewModel = regexViewModelKey.Match(match.Value).Value;     //Now, vieModel is a string, and its value is "MyClass". So, I only know the class name, this is why I ask this question.      //Now, I'm only allowed to use the string form of this class name to get its type.     //I have tyied like this, but its no use.     Type t = Type.GetType(viewModel);     //it's return a null.      //Then I tyied another method like this, but there is an exception when calling Assembly.Load     Assembly assembly = Assembly.Load("Myspace");     Type ty = assembly.GetType("Myspace" + viewModel); } 

I hope my question is clear. Can any one help me.THX I'm only allowed to use the string form of this class name to get its type.

thx everyone. I have solved this question by myself like this.

{       Type t = Type.GetType(string.Concat(viewModel, ",", "Myspace")); }

just use the function typeof(). The parameter is just that class name.

Type type = typeof(FIXProtoClientTest);
