Invoking case-sensitive C# methods from VB.NET

[Nelson P. Varghese]

Please have a look at the code given below. The class named 'Class1' has two
methods with the same name but with different case. Now how can I invoke
these methods from VB.

using System;

namespace ClassLibrary1
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
public class Class1
{
public Class1()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}

public string hello()
{
return "Small h";
}

public string Hello()
{
return "Capital H";
}
}
}

This code is not CLS compliant, so the answer is you can't. Marking the
assembly [assembly: CLSCompliant(true)] should produce a warning (error?).

You must use reflection to separate the camel cased method from the Pascal
cased method.

Dim myClass As New Class1
Dim camel, pascal As String
camel = myClass .GetType.InvokeMember("hello", _
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance Or _
BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, _
Nothing, Class1, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)

pascal = myClass .GetType.InvokeMember("Hello", _
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance Or _
BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, _
Nothing, Class1, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)
