Answer 1

In order to call a function you need to specify the type this function is declared on. If all functions you are going to call are declared on a common class you could do the following:

static void CallFunc(string mymethod)
{
    // Get a type from the string 
    Type type = typeof(TypeThatContainsCommonFunctions);

    // Create an instance of that type
    object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

    // Retrieve the method you are looking for
    MethodInfo methodInfo = type.GetMethod(mymethod);

    // Invoke the method on the instance we created above
    methodInfo.Invoke(obj, null);
}

If the functions you are going to call are static you don't need an instance of the type:

static void CallFunc(string mymethod)
{
    // Get a type from the string 
    Type type = typeof(TypeThatContainsCommonFunctions);

    // Retrieve the method you are looking for
    MethodInfo methodInfo = type.GetMethod(mymethod);

    // Invoke the method on the type
    methodInfo.Invoke(null, null);
}

I see 2 solutions:

1. you need to map function id to real function name
2. call type.GetMethods() to get list of all methods and choose right one
