I'm very new to C# so please forgive me if this is a really simple question.

Given the following code:

string myString = "{fname='Joe', lname='Smith'}";

Is there any way to use myString to actually instantiate an object with two properties (fname and lname)?

I know I can do this:

var myObject = new {fname='Joe', lname='Smith'};

So I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way to dynamically use myString something like this: (I know this doesn't work but its here to give an idea of what I'm wanting to do)

var myObject = new (myString);

Thanks for your help!
