完全限定类型名称中的GetType不起作用

Question

Public Sub New(ByVal oldC As Control)
    Dim FQTN As String = oldC.GetType.FullName
    Dim t As Type = Type.GetType(FQTN)
    Dim newC As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(t)
End Sub

FQTN is returning the correct Type name, but t is Nothing . For instance, FQTN = System.Windows.Forms.Panel .

Answer 1

Get rid of FQTN .

This works with the panel example you're looking for

Public Sub New(ByVal oldC As Control)
    Dim t As Type = oldC.GetType()
    Dim newC As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(t)
End Sub

Also, this is a duplicate of Type.GetType("namespace.abClassName") returns null
