DLL dependency and HTTP module

Question

I have an HTTP module in a dll, being used in a web application. I need to call a class in the web application (using a Interface defined within the dll - so we are not tightly coupled).

I define the class in the appsettings of a web.config, but cannot figure how to create an instance. I use Type.GetType but it just returns a null.

My app.config is

<add key ="ActiveClass" value ="WebApplication.Class1,WebApplication4">

and my Type.GetType invocation is

Type activeClassType = 
    Type.GetType(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ActiveClass"] as string);  

Any help would be gratefully received.

Thanks
