C# place a TYPE into a variable and use it instead of type at declaration of new variables

I searched on the site for an answer that I needed, but I could not find it...

I have this:

string sNameOfClass="BusNode";

And the class already exists, and has its own properties.

Now I need to do something like this, but I dont know how...

sNameOfClass variable1 = new sNameOfClass()

and use varible1 forward in program as a normal variable...

so like

coorinateClass cs = new ks();
cs.a=11;
cs.b=33;
cs.c=55;

Any clues?

Thank you in advance

You can use Activator.CreateInstance Method

Check out this link : Activator.CreateInstance Method (String, String)

If you need to manage a class with its name you can use this:

//your class name
string sNameOfClass = "YourNameSpace.BusNode";
//create type class from your class name
Type T = Type.GetType(sNameOfClass);
//create new instance of class
var NewInstanse = Activator.CreateInstance(T);
//set property 
T.GetProperty("a").SetValue(NewInstanse, 11);
//get value of property
var a = T.GetProperty("a").GetValue(NewInstanse);

string sNameOfClass="BusNode";

switch (sNameOfClass)
{
 case "BusNode":
       BusNode variable1 = new BusNode()
       break;
 case "...."
       break;
}
