How to call a method using its name?

Question

I have an object with some methods, and I want to call a method using the method name only as a string.

object obj; obj.method(); 

Answer 1

Given a MethodName method with a signature void MethodName(int num) , this will be done something like this:

  MethodInfo method = obj.GetType().GetMethod("MethodName", BindingFlags.Public|BindingFlags.Instance) method.Invoke(obj, 4) // void method 

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

In addition to thinking, you can also look at dynamic invocation; which is late (i.e. at runtime, not compile time) of sending method calls.

Answer 3

 object obj; var dyn = (dynamic) obj; dyn.method();
