What is their use if when you call the method, it might not exist?

Does that mean that you would be able to dynamically create a method on a dynamic object?

What are the practical use of this?

    You won’t really be able to dynamically create the method – but you can get an implementation of IDynamicMetaObject (often by extending DynamicObject) to respond as if the method existed.

    Uses:

    • Programming against COM objects with a weak API (e.g. office)
    • Calling into dynamic languages such as Ruby/Python
    • Potentially making ‘explorable’ objects – imagine an XPath-like query but via a method/property calls e.g. document.RootElement.Person[5].Name['Attribute']
    • No doubt many more we have yet to think of 🙂
