Question

I have a class that uses a variety of methods and other classes as its members. In one of these methods, it does something like this:

MyObject.member1.doStuff();
MyObject.member2.doStuff();
MyObject.member3.doStuff();
MyObject.member4.doStuff();

etc.

I would like to do something like this instead:

foreach Member in MyObject
{
    foreach Method in Member
        {
            if (Method.Name == "doStuff")
                { Method.Invoke() }
        }
}

Each member is of a different class type, the only thing they have in common is they will all have a void method called doStuff(). I cannot combine all methods into one giant doStuff() method.

Assuming the members you are talking about are properties, you can do the following very ugly code:

foreach (var property in MyObject.GetType().GetProperties()
    .Select(pi => pi.GetValue(MyObject, null)))
{
    property.GetType().GetMethod("doStuff").Invoke(property, null);
}

But as has been mentioned, it seems like a problem with your architecture.
