Creating new class object instance using only the class name

Hello all,

Let's say I have a class Number that doesn't inherit from MonoBehaviour. How do I create a new class object instance using only the class name?

For example in Java we can use Reflection:

Number.class.getConstructor().newInstance();

How is something like this possible in C#?

Thank you

 

what´s the problem with just using new ?

Code (CSharp):

1. Number n = new Number();

It´s the easiest way to create new objects.

But using relfection is in C# possible too. Try this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Number instance = Activator.CreateInstance<Number>();

If you wanna use reflection anstead of using "new" (whyever), you can have a look here as well:

Thank you Sphinks
