[C#]
public static Type GetTypeFromString(

bool ignoreCase
);

#### Parameters

typeName
  The name of the type to load.
throwOnError
  Flag set to `true` to throw an exception if the type cannot be loaded.
ignoreCase
  `true` to ignore the case of the type name; otherwise, `false`

#### Return Value

The type loaded or `null` if it could not be loaded.

#### Remarks

If the type name is fully qualified, i.e. if contains an assembly name in the type name, the type will be loaded from the system using GetType.

If the type name is not fully qualified it will be loaded from the assembly that is directly calling this method. If the type is not found in the assembly then all the loaded assemblies will be searched for the type.
