:) It feels nice to be helpful.

I don't have any other idea, but I thought that maybe instead of doing:

<snip>
my_method =3D t.GetMethod("MGetPosts");
object retVal =3D my_method.Invoke(activator,
                                BindingFlags.Instance |
				BindingFlags.NonPublic |
				BindingFlags.InvokeMethod,
                                null,
                                new Object[]{3, user},
                                null);
</snip>

You could do:

	IPluging p =3D (IPlugin)t;
	object retVal =3D p.MGetPosts(3, user);
