Executing string Function

[KG]

Hi,
Can I put a function name in a string and run that function.
For example

Function dbVersion01()
....
....
End Function

Dim strFunction as String ="DbVersion01"
Call strFunction

Something like that using delegate or some other way.

Thanks in advance
KG

KG,

I asked this more to people and never got an answer, you know that those
functions should exist, so you can do this in a case select very easy.
However than comes these questions to do this with a kind of late binding
using reflection.

Why do you want this while it is so easy in a "case select" and test with
that direct all errors?

or you could use the CallByName function:

CallByName(Me, "DbVersion01", CallType.Method, Nothing)

I believe the above works only for instance methods. You'll have to use
Reflection to execute shared methods.
