Static method reflection

You can do it now, without the lambda stuff, though it is nicer when you can use "var". I've got a generic method invoker built that is strong typed (or weak typed if desired), works with static and instance methods and builds a LCG stub that does minor type coercision (if needed) and boxing/unboxing.

Exactly, now we have support for static and instance methods, as well as for properties.

The next challenge is to find a solution for parameters so that we don't have to write the following, which contains a hard-coded string:

if (param1 == null)

throw new ArgumentNullException("param1");

Eveything seems possible now with lambda expressions :)

Wow... that's cool... I can complement it with mine (which doesn't work on non-static members) and have the best of all worlds!

Of course, this is not a problem if you call GetMethod from a method of the instance itself, as Ayende pointed out to me.

That's true, but it requires an object instance like this: GetMethod<int, string>(new MyClass().MyInstanceMethod), while you don't need an instance with typeof(MyClass).GetMethod("MyInstanceMethod");

Just to comment, it works on instance methods as well.
