I would like to construct the name of a subroutine or a
function in a variable then execute the sub/function.  
For example:

/* Example 1: */
/*  Trying to call function by name in a variable */

Dim c as Control, FunctionName as String

for each c in me.Controls
  if ( c.AccessibleRole = AccessibleRole.Text )
    FunctionName = c.Name & "_Validate"
    call FunctionName
  End If
Next

/* End example 1 */

Alternatively, I could create an array of FunctionName(s)
and AddessOf(s)... but then how can I execute a function
based on the AddressOf that function?

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time,
Patrick

look at the MethodBase.Invoke Method, and the Dynamically Loading and Using
Types topic in the help fiels.  Both have examples of invoking by string
