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

trying to dictate what topics I should research
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", fuck 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.

You're the kind of people that think they can learn to run before they learn to walk- let us take the following example: wait I have an idea that is a more appropriate use of my time.... :zzz:
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. :(

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??

Standard question #2: What error message do you get?

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.

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! All the best, Martin

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