I have not messed with GetMetaDAta much but I'd imagine
GetMetaData(Instance[Arguments.MethodName]) would work. I ran into a case
not too long ago when I had to use evalutate for some method calls but it
was because I was trying to stay in cfscript, had I been using a cfinvoke I
am pretty sure I could have avoided it.
Typically anytime you are doing Evaluate("something." & somethingelse) you
can avoid Evaluate() via using what I always refered to as the structure
bracket notation. Of course this could get into a long drawn out debate on
whether avoiding Evaluate() is even worth it now days in MX. I just avoid
it out of habbit and style choice more than anything else these days.
