This code sample is going to make your day. The scenario where this code could be quite helpful is where you are fetching a form name from the database and would like to open that form by passing the name as a string variable. To accomplish this task you will have to use the System.Reflection.Assembly class.

[C#]

using System.Reflection;
...
...
...
  try {
      Assembly myAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
      Form myForm = myAssembly.CreateInstance(txtFormName.text) as Form;
      myForm.ShowDialog(); 
      }
  catch (System.NullReferenceException exNull) {
      MessageBox.Show ("Invalid Form name. Please note that Form names " + 
                       "are case sensitive.", "Form not found");

      System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-" + 
                                         Environment.NewLine + "Project Load" +
                                         Environment.NewLine + exNull.ToString());
      }
  catch (Exception ex) {
      MessageBox.Show (ex.ToString());
      }
