Is there a way to instantiate by name?

[JPicasso_00]

I'd like to avoid switch/case statements and/or keeping track of some sort of indexing array/collection.

I need to be able to do something like:

 
        public Iclasstype makeObject(string makeme)
        {
            Iclasstype myobjectvar = new ("classprefix" + makeme)
           // OR
            Iclasstype myobjectvar = new System.SomeByNameFunction("classprefix" + makeme)

        }
