Question

I have created a class library, which has 4 classes each class have 1 method.
First class is the main class for me, in my first class, i have a string called calltoaction, in this string i will be getting the one of below list dynamically

1. class2.Method2()
2. class3.Method3()
3. class4.Method4()

now i want to execute the “class2.method2” from the string “calltoaction”.

Say for ex:

class Class1
{
    public void method1()
    {
        string calltoaction = "Class2.Method2()";
    }
}

How to execute the “Class2.Method” from the string?

Answer 1

Use an Action instead of a string (Assuming you don’t need a return value. If you do – use Func):

This is for an idea of how to use it:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    Action<string> calltoaction;
    calltoaction = Doit;
    calltoaction("MyText1");
    calltoaction = Doit2;
    calltoaction("MyText2");
}

void Doit(string s)
{ Text = s; }

void Doit2(string s)
{ textBox1.Text = s; }
