Kevin,

If I understand your question correctly, you need to use Reflection, something like this:

string DLLName = "MyDLL";
string ClassName = "MyClass";
System.Reflection.Assembly oDLL;
object oClass;

// This "loads" the .DLL
oDLL = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom(DLLName);

// This creates the class instance
oClass = oDLL.CreateInstance(ClassName);
