Question

So I have the following:

public class Singleton {    private Singleton(){}    public static readonly Singleton instance = new Singleton();    public string DoSomething(){ ... }    public string DoSomethingElse(){ ... }  } 

Using reflection how can I invoke the DoSomething Method?

Reason I ask is because I store the method names in XML and dynamically create the UI. For example I’m dynamically creating a button and telling it what method to call via reflection when the button is clicked. In some cases it would be DoSomething or in others it would be DoSomethingElse.

Untested, but should work…

string methodName = 'DoSomething'; // e.g. read from XML MethodInfo method = typeof(Singleton).GetMethod(methodName); FieldInfo field = typeof(Singleton).GetField('instance',     BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public); object instance = field.GetValue(null); method.Invoke(instance, Type.EmptyTypes);
