What's wrong with AddressOf?<br />

Unless I am using it wrong, AddressOf requires the function name be typed at runtime, you cannot use a string as a parameter. I would like to load the string name from a database and get the address from it at a runtime.

I am interested in using a method's name (ie MyFunc) to find its address. I know you can use CallByName to actually call the function, but I just want to get its address. I have a delegate and I want to assign it the AddressOf &quot;MyFunc&quot;.

I am interested in using a method's name (ie MyFunc) to find its address. I know you can use CallByName to actually call the function, but I just want to get its address. I have a delegate and I want to assign it the AddressOf "MyFunc".

Can you determine a procedure's address from its name?

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
