String Value to Variable [duplicate]

Question

Here is scenario

string dataTypeName = "Employee";

where Employee is class and i want to make an object of it.

Type EmployeeObject = Type.GetType(dataTypeName);

Now i want to instantiate an object of Employee like this

EmployeeObject emp1 = new Employee();

Is it Possible. But this method is not working. I don't have strong idea of Reflection. Please Guide me.

What is the value of - typeof(Employee).AssemblyQualifiedName? What is the need to get EmployeeObject from the name, and then instansiate it with a literal type anyway - why not just use the literal type in the first place? — LukeHennerley

    public static T CreateObject<T>(string assemblyName, string className)
    {
        Assembly assembly = Assembly.Load(assemblyName);
