invoke a method from a string?

Vince Apesa · Feb 5, 2004

All,
I am wondering if there is a way to invoke a method from a string?
Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.

string s = "someMethod";
invoke(s);

thanks,
Vince

Vince,

The Reflection API provides rich support for this kind of operation. The
following link provides an overview of reflection.

These are articles which talk more about reflection with sample code.

Hope this helps.
