Detailed Description

Helper class to perform method introspection and dynamic invocation. This class has symmetric implementation across all languages supported by Pip.Services toolkit and used to support dynamic data processing.

Because all languages have different casing and case sensitivity rules, this MethodReflector treats all method names as case insensitive.

var myObj = new MyObject();

var methods = MethodReflector.GetMethodNames();
MethodReflector.HasMethod(myObj, "myMethod");
MethodReflector.InvokeMethod(myObj, "myMethod", 123);
