Answer 1

If the functions are known at compile time and you just want to avoid writing a switch statement.

Setup:

Dictionary> functions =
  new Dictionary>();

functions["add"] = this.add;
functions["subtract"] = this.subtract;

Called by:

string functionName = "add";
int x = 1;
int y = 2;

int z = functions[functionName](x, y);
