How to convert string str to type type?

Question

.NET

Hello. There is a method
void Method(Type type, string str)
{
object o = (type)str;
}
I think it's clear from the line what I want to get. If not, I want to get a variable of type type by converting the string str to that type, if possible.

Answer 1

object o = Convert.ChangeType(str, type);
