Invoking a static method with Reflection

[Staffan]

I like to invoke a static method "getInstance" on a class using C#. Any ideas?
This won't work...

Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom("Reflection.dll");
Type t = a.GetType("Reflection.Singleton");
MethodInfo mi = t.GetMethod("getInstance");
object o = mi.Invoke(t, new object[]{});

Thanks

Try:

MethodInfo mi = t.GetMethod("getInstance", BindingFlags.Static);

Thanks, although it didn't work. But I could simply do like this...

Type t = t.GetType("Reflection.Singelton");
object o = t.InvokeMember("getInstance", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null,
t, new object[0]);
