What makes rick's code difficult is that he is dynamically compiling code on the fly. If the code is already compiled somewhere on disk, the process is relatively easy.

//1. Get a reference to the assembly where the class lives
Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
//2. Instantiate the class
Form f = (Form)asm.CreateInstance("Reflection.Form1");
//3. Execute it
Application.Run(f);
