Parameters

instance  Object

An instance whose method is about to be invoked.

methodName  String

The name of the method to be invoked.

result  Object

When this method returns with result, then this parameter contains the return value of the method.

parameters  Object

The parameters to be used for invoking the method.

Return Value

methodName can refer public and non-public methods. To avoid ambiguity this method gets all the methods of the same name and chooses the first one for which the provided parameters match.

If you already have a MethodInfo instance use the InvokeMethod(Object, MethodInfo, Type, ReflectionWays, Object) method for better performance.

For invoking the method this method uses the DynamicDelegate reflection way.
