Call UserControl using string at C#

prromap asked:

Open original thread
Hello, does anybody have a good example how to call one of many UserControls by a string:
I have many classes like:

C#
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
public partial class UserControl2 : UserControl
public partial class UserControl3 : UserControl

and main Form, and a string:
C#
public partial class MainForm : Form
string[] callUserControl = {UserControl1,UserControl2,UserControl3};


In specific event, I would like to call a UserControlX from a string[X], and pass that control to a panel.
Those are names of user control classes, and i want to pass the type of a control to the panel but by selecting it from a string.
Something like a Reflection

Thanks in advance!

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
