Execute method on dynamic

Question

I am sure this question has been answered somewhere but I'm having major problems finding the right combination of keywords to find it. I am curious to know if its possible to do something like this: ``` dynamic someObj = new SomeObject(); var methodName = "someMethodName"; // execute methodName on someObj ``` I basically want to know if its possible to execute a method on a dynamic object using a variable that stores the methods name.

Accepted Answer

You can do it on any object, not necessarily a `dynamic` one using reflection.

```
object obj = new SomeObject();
var meth = obj.GetType().GetMethod("someMethodName");
meth.Invoke(obj, new object[0]); // assuming a no-arg method
```

When you use `dynamic`, you can use any identifier for a method name, and the compiler will not complain:

```
dynamic obj = MakeSomeObject();
obj.someMethodName(); // Compiler takes it fine, even if MakeSomeObject returns an object that does not declare someMethodName()
```
