Solution 1

Put a try/catch block around it and run the code under the debugger, and you'll find out exactly what's wrong.

Is that AddForm really exist in your application, Check this code and find what the error is

Type tp=Type.GetType(formname, true);

This are the syntaxes used to get type

Type GetType(string typeName);

   Type GetType(string typeName, bool throwOnError);

   Type GetType(string typeName, bool throwOnError, bool ignoreCase);
