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

Here is a basic outline of what you would do:

1. Scan all the objects in the current AppDomain - find the one that matches what you know the class name to be
2. Get the static method with the name you know on that object
3. Dynamically invoke it.

Edit: This will work if you do not know the namespace of the static class. Otherwise use Daniel Brückner's solution as its much simpler.
