.NET 2.0 Type.GetType (String) Returns NULL

Problem
Type.GetType (String, true) throws the following error:

Could not load type 'MyType' from assembly 'MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.

Solution
String needs to be the assembly-qualified name of the Type:

MyType.GetType().AssemblyQualifiedName
