A slight tangent -- if you want to parse and evaluate an entire expression string which contains (nested!) functions, consider NCalc (http://ncalc.codeplex.com/ and nuget)

Ex. slightly modified from the project documentation:

// the expression to evaluate, e.g. from user input (like a calculator program, hint hint college students)
var exprStr = "10 + MyFunction(3, 6)";
Expression e = new Expression(exprString);

// tell it how to handle your custom function
e.EvaluateFunction += delegate(string name, FunctionArgs args) {
        if (name == "MyFunction")
            args.Result = (int)args.Parameters[0].Evaluate() + (int)args.Parameters[1].Evaluate();
    };

// confirm it worked
Debug.Assert(19 == e.Evaluate());

And within the EvaluateFunction delegate you would call your existing function.

You can invoke methods of a class instance using reflection  doing a dynamic method invocation   Suppose that you have a method called hello in a the actual instance  this    string methodName    hello      Get the method information using the method info class  MethodInfo mi   this GetType   GetMethod methodName      Invoke the method     null- no parameter for the method call    or you can pass the array of parameters     mi Invoke this  null

In C   you can create delegates as function pointers   Check out the following MSDN article for information on usage  http   msdn microsoft com en-us library ms173171 VS 80  aspx      public static void hello                 Console Write  hello world                 code snipped         public delegate void functionPointer         functionPointer foo   hello      foo        Writes hello world to the console
