Hi,
if you happen to be familiar with some other programming languages, such as C:
a delegate is very much like a function pointer.
It has one extra twist: it also holds a reference to an object (an instance of
the class that holds the methods code), so a delegate knows which method to invoke on which object.
So if you create a delegate inside object FOO to call method BAR, and then
execute that delegate, it will behave as is you were calling FOO.BAR directly.
BTW if BAR is a static method, FOO would be the class itself, and not an
instance of the class.

A delegate declaration defines a reference type that can be used to encapsulate a method with a specific signature. A delegate instance encapsulates a static or an instance method. Delegates are roughly similar to function pointers in C++; however, delegates are type-safe and secure.

Ok so here's the problem....
I have a solution that contains 2 projects one is the executable and the other is a DLL that I wrote that the application uses... the problem is that method I am using from the dll tries to reference a class and/or method from the application but since it isn't referenced I get an error here is the code:
Application code:
AnyMethod.RunMethod("ProcessModules","Menu"); //ProcessModules being a class in the application.
DLL code:
public static void RunMethod(string myClass, string myMethod)
{
Type myType = Type.GetType(myClass);
MethodInfo myMeth = myType.GetMethod(myMethod);
myMeth.Invoke(null,null);
}
Any ideas? I have a feeling this would use some inheritance feature or something but not sure...still very new to C#...There has to be a way the dll can reference a class in my other namespace without having to hard-code the reference right??

Then why are you trying to invoke methods from string class names and method names? That is a semi advanced topic.

It would be better if you understood fundamentals like that before moving on to advanced topics.

Because I am experimenting with Reflection...If you could offer up any hints that would be much more helpful than trying to dictate what topics I should research...if I was to solve this problem then that would be a step towards the direction of learning and understanding this topic better...

Sorry didn't get any feeling he was trying to dictate to you, just addressing some valuable points for you. There was no justification for you voting him down. Did it get you any closer to finding an answer?

I can't help you further if you are going to choose to ignore it.

You asked for help I didn't, if you don't like what I offered as advice don't respond. As to your criticism of my "free advice", f*** off.

You're the kind of people that make people shy away from using forums- let us take the following example:
I ask (trusting that someone with your wisdom in this language will help me, offer a hint in the right direction, or give an example):
What is 2+2.
You say:
It would be better if you understood what addition is before moving on to advanced topics.
I can understand that understanding these topics better would help me, that's why I'm here. The method in the code I posted works fine from within the same namespace just when I make it into a DLL and try and use it and the arguments reference a class and method from outside the DLL it doesn't work, so I guess what I need to do is figure out how to make the dll see the class or namespace that is calling the method from within it...if you can help me and offer up anything that is actually considered help it would be much appreciated. 
I also understand that I am probably not explaning this very well, but what I am looking for is someone who has run into a similiar problem and what their solution was for it.

Finally something we agree on, next time don't post a response to someone's question unless it's to offer help. These kind of responses devalue the title of MVP.

Good statement! (Got my 5)
I don't know if it should be the responsability of a CP MVP which shouldn't let him make this kind of statements.
But for me, vulgaritys and personal abuse have no place in a forum like this!

Thank you, you are correct vulgaritys and personal abuse have no place in this community no matter who they are from.

Don't tell people who have more experience than you what to do. Period. And while you are at it read the forum guidelines. Message titles should not include words 'urgent' or 'help.'

Standard question #2:
What error message do you get?
Taicho2k wrote: There has to be a way the dll can reference a class in my other namespace without having to hard-code the reference right?
Then you have to load the assembly from the dll.

When you say "load the assembly" do you mean like [DllImport]? If so, I am currently trying to use DllImport and it finds the DLL, however, it says it can't find the entry point in the DLL, and I've made the function I'm importing the same name as the method in the DLL so I thought it would find it and it doesn't, so then I tried to specify the entry point by doing
[DllImport("myDll.dll", Entrypoint="myMethod")] public static extern void myMethod()
and it still can't find the "entry point" when I run the method in the code later? Do I have to specify something within the DLL?
Thanks for the help,
Taicho

Ok, I'm not clear on what you're trying to do, but it sounds like you have a circular reference. You have an executable that uses an assembly and an assembly that tries to use the executable. Correct? The solution lies in breaking the circular reference.

I am trying to add some key down events to a form. It works great until I add a radiobutton to the form, at which point it focuses on the radiobutton and ignores all the keyboard commands. Any ideas on how to make the keys affect the form instead of the radiobutton?
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the help,
It works now for all of the keys except the arrow keys and tab key. Is there any way to have it run the keydown function when the arrow keys are pressed instead of jumping between the radiobuttons?

Hi, I'm trying to bind a lookup table to a comboBox. Well the contents of the ComboBox binds ok, but the binding on the SelectedValue doesn't work! Here's my code:
DataTable table = new DataTable();<br />
table.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string));<br />
table.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(int));<br />
for(int i = 0; i < namesArray.Length; ++i)<br />
{<br />
table.Rows.Add(new object[] {namesArray[i], i});<br />
}<br />
<br />
combo.DataSource = table;<br />
combo.DisplayMember = "Name";<br />
combo.ValueMember = "Value";<br />
<br />
combo.DataBindings.Add("SelectedValue", dataset.LoadModule, "MyColumn");<br />
<br />
numericUpDown1.DataBindings.Add("Value", dataset.LoadModule, "MyColumn");
What am I missing? This is going to drive me nuts!!!
