Answer 1

Are you saying that AVeryLargeWebServiceWithLotsOfMethodsToCall is an instance of an object on which you want to invoke a method named functionName? If so:

MethodInfo method = AVeryLargeWebServiceWithLotsOfMethodsToCall.GetType().GetMethod(functionName);
method.Invoke(AVeryLargerWebServiceWithLotsOfMethodsToCall, null);

Or is AVeryLargeWebServiceWithLotsOfMethodsToCall a type on which you want to invoke a static method named functionName? If so:

MethodInfo method = typeof(AVeryLargeWebServiceWithLotsOfMethodsToCall).GetMethod(functionName);
method.Invoke(null, null);
