Question

I am using this code where I am invoking the run method of a List of classes that I loaded dynamically from dlls:

for (int i = 0; i < robotList.Count; i++) {     Type t = robotList[i]; //robotList is a List<Type>     object o = Activator.CreateInstance(t);     t.InvokeMember('run', BindingFlags.Default | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, null); } 

The invokeMember is invoking the run methodof each of the classes in the list.

Now how can I invoke this run method from invokeMember in a separate Thread ? So that I’ll have separate threads running for each of the invoked methods.

Answer 1

If you know that all your dynamically loaded types implement Run, could you just require they all implement IRunable and get rid of the reflection part?

Type t = robotList[i]; IRunable o = Activator.CreateInstance(t) as IRunable; if (o != null) {     o.Run(); //do this in another thread of course, see below } 

If not, this will work:

for (int i = 0; i < robotList.Count; i++) {     Type t = robotList[i];     object o = Activator.CreateInstance(t);     Thread thread = new Thread(delegate()     {         t.InvokeMember('Run', BindingFlags.Default | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, null);     });     thread.Start(); }
