• Ccm1st Completely dynamic method invocation

  In java, I believe you can attempt to call a method even though the compiler can't find the method in the object's known class. Basically, you could do something like this - Object o; o.SomeMethod(); The java compiler doesn't look to see if SomeMethod exists in o. It simply compiles the code and tries to find the method on the object at run-time. If it's not found, something like a MethodNotFoundException is thrown, and can be handled gracefully. I want to do precisely the same thing in C# without using reflection. I think this type of behavior can be acheived in a roundabout way using the item of a foreach loop, but I want to be able to do it anywhere. Essentially, I want to be able to get this piece of code to compile - tr ...Show All

• Jkumar Switch statement

  Hi, all: [I guess this could be considered a rant, but I'm still curious if anyone shares my opinion on this] I am still wondering why the switch statement is not more flexible. For example, I feel that a switch statement using objects makes sense. I'll give a more visual example for ease of understanding more than anything else, so picture this: I have three buttons on my form, button1, button2, button3. I set the click event to the same event handler, button_ButtonClick. Inside the button_ButtonClick method I want to check the sender to see which button was clicked, so I do this: switch (sender) // or even (sender as Button) { case button1: // do something here break ; case button2: // do somethi ...Show All
