Hi, My appsettings.jason has a setting like below..

"LogKafkaFactoryConfiguration": { "type": "SPGMI.Logging.NetCore.Kafka.Configuration.LogRdKafkaClientFactory, SPGMI.Logging.NetCore" },

I need to read this type setting ..and my class looks like below but I am able to read the setting to string only.. but I want the ‘Type’ because I need to use System.Activator.CreateInstance(LogKafkaFactoryConfiguration.type) in parent class.

Public class LogKafkaFactoryConfiguration { public string type { get; set; } }

Please help. From: David Fowler [mailto:notifications@github.com] Sent: Monday, January 09, 2017 12:56 PM To: aspnet/Home Cc: Lingam, Anitha; Author Subject: Re: [aspnet/Home] Is it possible to read System.Type from an appsettings.json file in a .net core application (#1898)
