Now IMO this is the right plan of attack:

- get your object;
- use reflection to execute its GetEnumerator() method and store the result as a
new object (of type IEnumerator), say myEnumerator.
- on myEnumerator, call methods Reset(), MoveNext() and the property Current
as you see fit; no need for reflection here.

This is code I have running:


public override void Run(int arg) {
MyList list=new MyList();
IEnumerator ienumer= typeof(MyList).InvokeMember("GetEnumerator", InstanceMethodBindings, null, list, null)
as IEnumerator;
log("ienumer="+ienumer);
while (ienumer.MoveNext()) log((string)ienumer.Current);
}

public class MyList : IEnumerable {
private List list=new List();

public MyList() {
list.Add("aaa");
list.Add("bbb");
list.Add("ccc");
}

public IEnumerator GetEnumerator() { return list.GetEnumerator(); } // LINE WAS MISSING!
}

while (ienumer.MoveNext()) log((string)ienumer.Current);

It requires the me to declare ienumer as type IEnumerable. I do not have this ability (I think it is because we are still using .NET 2.0 here).

requires that the type returned by ienumer.Current be hardcoded as string.

IEnumerator ienumer=(IEnumerator)typeof(IEnumerable).
    InvokeMember("GetEnumerator", InstanceMethodBindings, null, list, null);
