Calling a method on a static class given its type name and method names as strings

Question

How could I go about calling a method on a static class given the class name and the method name, please?

For example:

Given System.Environment

Answer 1

First you need to get the Type (by iterating on the assembly using reflection)

see this link for details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.propertyinfo.aspx

or use

Assembly.GetType

once you have the type in hand you can iterate over members using reflection or

MethodInfo method = typeof(MyClass).GetMethod("MyMethod");

then you can use MethodInfo.Invoke and pass arguments to invoke the method when you want to invoke it.
