You can do this without using Reflection; you can use Activator.CreateInstance:
C#
Form newForm = (Form) Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(YourNameSpace + "." + YourNewFormName));
Keep in mind that when you create a new Form of some specific Type, like a new "Form4," and cast it to the generic Type 'Form: the new Form has an empty string for its 'Name property. So, you can't test if the new Form exists in the Application.OpenForms collection by using its Name. To fix that: give the new Form a Name when you create it:
C#
Form newForm = (Form) Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(YourNameSpace + "." + YourNewFormName));
newForm.Owner = this;
newForm.Name = YourNewFormName;
newForm.Show();
I'd like to suggest you define your own List<string> of currently opened secondary Form names; it will simplify testing for an instance being already opened. You can also pre-define a string with your NameSpace plus "." to make creating a new Form simpler.
