Loading a dll from its resources

So, my program has a DLL in its resources, which i am trying to read this way:

        Assembly assembly = Assembly.Load(Resources.func);
        Type type = assembly.GetType("Func");
        dynamic functions = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
        functions.Test();

For some reason it keeps throwing a null error at this line:

dynamic functions = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

The namespace of the DLL is Func, and the name of the class is Func too. Can anyone help me with this? I have been googling for the last hour but i just can't find the solution to it.

UPDATE

When i make the class non-static, and use assembly.GetType("Func.Func");, it throws a RuntimeBinder exception when i do functions.Test();. Maybe that helps a little more?

Try using the complete type name of the Func class. If the namespace is Func and the type is Func, you should try using:

Type type = assembly.GetType("Func.Func");

You can use GetType("Func.Func"), it will return a class named Func in a namespace called Func, as far as assembly is successfully loaded.
