Good morning,

I am trying to call a method from a DLL being created at runtime. I am using the LoadFrom and InvokeMember members of the reflection class. Can someone please tell me why the method is not being found. I am including the code from the DLL, the invoke member, and the error message I am receiving.

Thanks in advance.

Eric
