Get a new object instance from a Type
One may not always know the Type of an object at compile-time, but may need to create an instance of the Type. How do you get a new object instance from a Type?
The Activator class within the root System namespace is pretty powerful.
There are a lot of overloads for passing parameters to the constructor and such. Check out the documentation at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.activator.createinstance.aspx
or (new path)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.activator.createinstance
Here are some simple examples:
ObjectType instance = (ObjectType)Activator.CreateInstance(objectType);
ObjectType instance = (ObjectType)Activator.CreateInstance("MyAssembly","MyNamespace.ObjectType");
ObjectType instance = (ObjectType)Activator.CreateInstance(objectType);
Activator类有一个通用的变体，这使得这一点更容易：
ObjectType instance = Activator.CreateInstance<ObjectType>();
Compiled expression is best way! (for performance to repeatedly create instance in runtime).
static readonly Func<X> YCreator = Expression.Lambda<Func<X>>(
Expression.New(typeof(Y).GetConstructor(Type.EmptyTypes))
).Compile();
X x = YCreator();
