Answer 1

You can use Type.GetMethod to get the method, and then call .Invoke on the MethodInfo you retrieve to call it.

Answer 3

Type myType = a.GetType(ucControl);

// Create an instance.
Control objControl = Activator.CreateInstance(myType) as Control;
if (objControl != null)
{
    var method = myType.GetMethod("Refresh");
    method.Invoke(objControl, null); // Call the Refresh() method
}
