Can you explain your scenario a bit more ? Are you creating some sort of 'plug-in' architecture, where you don't know what plug-ins will be available until runtime ? If so, yes reflection will get you to where you need to go, but there are better ways.

Keep the same namespace in both the DLL and main project.

The closest methods in the .Net framework equivalent to VB6's CreateObject call are the following: 

object calcInstance = Activator.CreateInstance(calcType);
or    
Assembly testAssembly = Assembly.LoadFile(@"c:\Test.dll");
