if you want to run external application use Process.Start Method

If you want ot execute code in such way I highly recommend you to NOT use such approach as this will make application difficult to maintain and very dangerous especialy if string is entered by user

Yes you can.

I've done this (or more or less) in VB 2005, should work in C# as well (I just translated from VB 2005 to C#) :

System.Type pageType = this.GetType();
System.Reflection.MethodInfo myMethod = pageType.GetMethod("method1");
myMethod.Invoke(this, null);

It could be possible you have to attach the parameters where I've put the "null" (last line of code).

Is this what you're looking for
