Create Control from String Value

I am using DevExpress Components controls.I want to create controls from string Value

like "DevExpress.XtraEditors.TextEdit".I know I can make this with reflection like

var textBoxType = typeof(Control).Assembly.GetType("System.Windows.Forms.TextBox", true);
var textBox = Activator.CreateInstance(textBoxType);

I want to make this for write little code.but DevExpress have a lot of开发者_Python百科 namespace and class. Can I create control from string unless give A MainClass? (like my sample code typeof(Control)) if I can not make I have to use alot of if

You need to know which assembly the class is defined in.

For example, all of the editors are in DevExpress.XtraEditors.vX.Y.dll, or typeof(BaseEdit).Assembly.

If you don't know which assembly it's defined in, you can create a collection of DevExpress assemblies (typeof(GridControl).Assembly, typeof(TreeList).Assembly, ...) and loop through them until asm.GetType(name) doesn't return null.
Note that it will be very slow.
