Calling methods using variables

Question

hello I was wondering if there might be a way to call a mthod which name is stored in a variable. I.E. string s_method = my_method; Would it be possible to call my_method by using s_method without knowing what it contained? Thanks for any help.

Here is an example : using System; using System.Reflection; public class CallMethodUsingName { public static void Main () { // Loads the assembly into the current application domain. Assembly objAssm = Assembly.LoadFrom(ThreadSample.exe); //Fully qualified namespace with class name Type objType = objAssm.GetType(ThreadSample.Class1); //Name of the method to be called MethodInfo objMethod = objType.GetMethod(StartThread); //Creates an instance of the class. Object objInst = Activator.CreateInstance(objType); //Execute the method objMethod.Invoke(objInst null ); } }

This is possible with Reflections(System.Reflection). I will post a sample app this week.
