I want to invoke a static method of a static class using a TEXT variable
which has the namespace and class name which should be executed. I looked at
the "CreateInstance " method, but this looks like a way to create an instance
of a class, which is not what is needed. I attempted to use this method,
even though I'm pretty sure that it is not applicable here and it fails as
the "Type" variable is null after I use the following instruction:
string myNamespace = "Fred.Utilities ";
string clsName = "MyClass.cs ";
Type myType = Type.GetType(my Namespace + "." + clsName);
To create an instance of the object (assuming a no parameter constructor -
And again, Since this is a static class with no constructor, I know that it
is not applicable, but I do intend to use the same sort of set up to create a
class which is not a static class and I was wanting to confirm that this
would be appropriate in that instance).
object obj = Activator.Creat eInstance(myTyp e);
Would this be the appropriate set of instructions to use on an Instance class?
How would I provide the arguements to the constructor if they were required?
How should I go about this for a static class/method?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
After those instructions are created, myType = null.

If you have a type object for your static class you can do the
following.
Type myStaticClassTy pe;
//...
Object[] myStaticMethodA rguments;
//...
MethodInfo mystaticMethodI nfo =
myStaticClassTy pe.GetMethod(my StaticMethodNam e);
Object myStaticMethodR esult = mystaticMethodI nfo.Invoke(null ,
myStaticMethodA rguments);
// do something usefull with myStaticMethodR esult
For a static method you don't need to create an instance at all. Use
reflection to get the MethodInfo for the target method and then call
Invoke, passing null as the object reference.

If the method is static you dont have to create an instance, if you get a

Today I discovered that a syntax that I thought was forbidden in C# but

actually allowed in C#. Which confused me. The syntax in question is
referring to static members of a class *from a subclass*.
(Now, I know for sure there's a similar difference, in that VB.NET
allows/ed you to invoke static members from an instance member, whereas

Hi,
I have a base class with a static constructor and some abstract methods.
Derived classes implement these methods. From articles on the web, it appears
that there is no guarentee that this static constructor of the base class
would be invoked even if a an object of the derived class is created. Is this
correct ? Is there any way to ensure the base class's static constructor is
invoked before the derived class instance is constructed ?...

I know in a WinForm you can check if an Invoke is inquired and invoke
a method on the main thread. But can you do this in a class? Can I
call Invoke(someMethod) in my asynch event handler?
And if I can't do it this way, is there a way I can do it?
Thanks.

Dear All,
For some time now, I have been working with the ctypes module on
Windows. First I got my hands on a library developed with Delphi 7.
That library is exporting plain functions. Internally, reference is
made to the instance of a class, which is instantiated in a kind of
initialization section. Everything works fine.
Now, I have developed a library in C#. I am able to get the result
from static methods, e.g.
