Hi

Does anyone know if its possible to call a method from it's string reproesentation e.g

int CallFN(string FunctionName

return ... FunctionName..


So if a method exists called GetAge which returns the number 1
I want to call this by calling
CallFn("GetAge")

T.I.A

You need to use reflection. Have a look at Type.GetMethod to find out
how to get the method, and then the Invoke method on the returned
MethodInfo to run it. A reflection tutorial on the net will no doubt
give more information.
