I have searched the whole internet (especially the msdn documentation) but I haven't found what I am looking for.
I am making something in VB.NET, and I want to use functions of dll's. Of course it is possible by adding the references in design mode, but that is not what I want.

It's just like something patchou did in msgplus (but I think he did it with C++). The program reads the register, reads a string with the namespace of the dll, and loads it. I tried to use:

code:

---

Dim object = System.Activator.CreateInstance("dllName.Classname", "URIToAssembly")

---

but that didn't work... Anyone who knows how to do it? (if you know how to do it in VB6, that's good also..)
