Shazam! (haven't used that word in awhile)
Actually, I was looking it up <g>...but under the Activator, so I was getting myself crossed up. I had to do one more thing, which was...
oControl = (UserControl)oDLL.CreateInstance("MyContainer1");
...and then it worked.
This kind of thing, and use of GETTYPE, are about as far as I think I'll need to go for runtime evaluation. I haven't (yet) had the need to execute full lines of code.
Thank you! Pardon the gender-type, but...you da man! ;)
