Question

I’ve got a Class with an undetermined number of methods inside

Public Class MyClass
    Public Sub Foo()
    End Sub

    Public Sub Bar()
    End Sub
End Class

Is there an easy way to call all of the methods in “MyClass” without physically specifying each one? The reason for this is that the methods within “MyClass” are going to be evergrowing, and I don’t want to specify the method call for each one when the end goal is to execute every method on a set schedule.

IE: I want to avoid

Page_Load
    Foo()
    Bar()

Edit:

I’ve tried the following code to loop through the methods, but I’m getting an error

    Public Shared Sub Calculator()
        Dim methods As New Methods()
        For Each Info As MethodInfo In methods.GetType.GetMethods
            Info.Invoke(Nothing, Nothing)
        Next
    End Sub

System.Reflection.TargetException: Non-static method requires a target.

Here’s a simple example, invoking methods without parameters:

Sub Main()
    Dim FooClass As New someClass()

    For Each method As MethodInfo In FooClass.GetType.GetMethods(BindingFlags.Instance Or
                                                                 BindingFlags.Public Or
                                                                 BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly)
        Console.WriteLine("Invoking: {0}.{1}()", method.DeclaringType.Name, method.Name)
        method.Invoke(FooClass, Nothing)
    Next
End Sub
