Hello,

I create a new class object at runtime using:

    Class dmClass = Class.forName(dmClassName);

I want to be able to use the Class object, dmClass, to cast new objects but
I can't seem to get this to work. I've tried:

(dmClass) .......
(dmClass.getName()).....

But I get an Invalid Cast type expression error.

How can I use dmClass as the cast type in a statement?

Thanks
