Here's one way of doing it using regular expressions to parse the command and then reflection to invoke the method: using System; using System.IO; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; using System.Reflection; class Program { static void Main() { string command = File.ReadAllText(asheesh.txt); string regExp = @^(\w+)\.(\w+)$(.*?)$;$; Match m = Regex.Match(command regExp); if(m.Success) { string className = m.Groups[1].Value; string method = m.Groups[2].Value; string argument = m.Groups[3].Value.Replace(\ ); Type t = Type.GetType(System. + className); BindingFlags bf = BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.InvokeMethod; t.InvokeMember(WriteLine bf null null new[]{argument}); Console.ReadKey(); } } } The output as required is: Hello
