Question

I’ve got a name of a method: ‘Garden.Plugins.Code.Beta.Business.CalculateRest’

How to run it? I think about this fancy reflection based solution like RunMethod(string MethodName)

Answer 1

• Split it into type name and method name by splitting on the last dot
• Get the type using Type.GetType or Assembly.GetType. (Type.GetType will only look in the currently executing assembly and mscorlib, unless you specify the assembly name in the argument.)
• Get the method from the type using Type.GetMethod. Assuming it’s a public static method, specify BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static.
• Execute the method by calling MethodInfo.Invoke(null, null). (The first null specifies ‘no target’ – i.e. it’s a static method; the second specifies no arguments.)

If you want to call an instance method or one which takes parameters, you’ll need to work out how to get that information too.
