Create class for instantiation at runtime

[Elroy]

I'm really just spit-balling here, but this is something I'd use if I could do it.

Is there a way to dynamically (at runtime) create a class that could then be used for instantiating objects?

Sure, I know it'd be exceedingly difficult to compile code at runtime. However, I'm just thinking of an object that just has some simple properties, no real code.

Said differently, I'm wondering if we can take a simple UDT and turn it into a class at runtime. It seems like we should be able to stick a standard IUnknown header on it (QueryInterface, AddRef, Release, and a RefCount somewhere) and create a class. Sure, it might take a bit of a thunk, but this doesn't seem huge, if it's nothing but simple properties.

For this one, I'm not even exactly sure where to start. Or maybe it's a bigger project than I'm thinking.

Thanks,
Elroy
