Answer 1

It can be done using reflection. However, I believe you need an object reference to go with it.

Example from here

Type t = this.GetType();
MethodInfo method = t.GetMethod("showMessage");
method.Invoke(this, null);

Alternatively, you could use an Action or some other delegate to pass a reference to the function you want to call.

public void amethod(Action function)
{
    function();
}
