Vista - static methods

I have a DLL with two methods one static and one not.

public static int Test1(int p) { return 1; }
public int Test2(int p) { return 2;}

I use the [reflection.assembly] to load it no problem.
In script I create an array of strings with the method names and do a
New-Object on this class.

I want to loop through the array and call the methods on the object with the
same parameter.

It does not work and I don't know how to call a static method without this
syntax[Namespace.Class]::Method

If you have an instance of your object (let's assume $o) you could call a
static method like this:

$o.GetType()::Test1(1234)

If you have a string for the method name you could build an expression and
use invoke-expression:

$methodName = "Test1"
$arg = 1234
$line = '$o.GetType()::' + $methodName + '($arg)'
invoke-expression $line

You can get the list of static methods using Get-Member:

$o | Get-Member -static
