I need to convert some stored strings to classes so that I can run one of their methods. I thought I could use NSClassFromString() like so

[NSClassFromString(@"MyClassName")
        doSomethingCool: 5
        withThisHereThing: @"bobo"];

But apparently the class isn't loaded yet as NSClassFromString() always returns nil. Is there a way to load a specific class at runtime?

Assuming that you are getting the code that implements the necessary code from some bundle you can use the NSBundle method -(Class)classNamed:(NSString *)className This will load the bundle's executable code if it is not already loaded.
