Syntax

public static class ReflectionInvoker

Methods

InvokeInstanceMethod<T>(String, String, String, Object, Object[], BindingFlags)

Invoke an instance method by name, resolving overloads based on argument types, and return its result as the specified generic type.

Declaration

public static T InvokeInstanceMethod<T>(string pstrAssemblyPath, string pstrFullyQualifiedTypeName, string pstrMethodName, object pobjInstance, object[] paobjParameters, BindingFlags penmFlagsBitMask = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	pstrAssemblyPath	Absolute path to the DLL containing the type.
System.String	pstrFullyQualifiedTypeName	Namespace-qualified type name.
System.String	pstrMethodName	Name of the instance method to invoke.
System.Object	pobjInstance	Instance of the type on which to invoke the method.
System.Object[]	paobjParameters	Arguments to pass to the method.
System.Reflection.BindingFlags	penmFlagsBitMask	Binding penmFlagsBitMask (defaults to Public | Instance).

Returns

Type	Description
T	Result of the method call, cast to T.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Expected return type.

InvokeMethod(Object, String, BindingFlags, Object[])

Invokes a method (virtual, non-virtual, or overridden) on the given target object.

Declaration

public static object InvokeMethod(object pobjTarget, string pstrMethodName, BindingFlags penmBindingFlagsBitMask, params object[] paobjParameters)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Object	pobjTarget	This required generic object represents the instance on which to invoke method pstrMethodName
System.String	pstrMethodName	This string represents the name of the method on object pobjTarget to invoke.
System.Reflection.BindingFlags	penmBindingFlagsBitMask	This bit mask represents one or more members of the BindingFlags enumeration.
System.Object[]	paobjParameters	This optional array of generic objects is the parameters for the method, if any. Since it is a parameter array, this argument is, and must be, last.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Object	This generic object is the return value of the method, or null if the method returns void.

InvokeStaticMethod<T>(String, String, String, Object[], BindingFlags)

Invoke a static method by name, resolving overloads based on argument types, and return its result as the specified generic type.

Declaration

public static T InvokeStaticMethod<T>(string pstrAssemblyPath, string pstrFullyQualifiedTypeName, string pstrMethodName, object[] paobjParameters, BindingFlags penmFlagsBitMask = BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	pstrAssemblyPath	Absolute path to the DLL containing the type.
System.String	pstrFullyQualifiedTypeName	Namespace-qualified type name.
System.String	pstrMethodName	Name of the static method to invoke.
System.Object[]	paobjParameters	Arguments to pass to the method.
System.Reflection.BindingFlags	penmFlagsBitMask	Binding penmFlagsBitMask (defaults to Public | Static | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy).

Returns

Type	Description
T	Result of the method call, cast to T.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Expected return type.
