Question

So say I have a string called fun. Its text is “myFun”. I want to run a function called myFun:

private void myFun()
{
  //stuff
}

Is there a way to do this so I can run it based on the text of the string? Maybe like this:

myFun + ();

Clearly that won’t work, but is there something that will?

Answer 1

Given I have this class:

public class Foo
{
    private void myFun()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
    }
}

I can call this code:

var fun = "myFun";
var foo = new Foo();
foo
    .GetType()
    .GetMethod(
        fun,
        BindingFlags.NonPublic
            | BindingFlags.Instance
            | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod)
    .Invoke(foo, new object[] { });

That does what you want, I think.
