title: Converting a string to a class name
body: <p>I have a string variable that represents the name of a custom class. Example: </p>
  
  <pre><code>string s = "Customer";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I will need to create an arraylist of customers. So, the syntax needed is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>List&lt;Customer&gt; cust = new .. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I convert the string s to be able to create this arraylist on runtime?</p>
