Description
CreateObject() creates an instance of an arbitrary .NET class without registering the assembly or class in the Xbasic type system.
Once the instance is destroyed, the assembly is still loaded in the Common Language Runtime (CLR), but Xbasic will retain no knowledge of the type.
Create an instance of a type registered in the .NET global assembly cache (GAC).
