C# reflection and methods ambiguity

I have a assembly which contains a class. That class has two methods

public IEnumerable Invoke();
public IEnumerable<T> Invoke<T>();

I dynamically load the assembly

Assembly as = Assembly.Load("MyAssemblyName, Version= 6.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35")
Type type = as.GetType("MyClass");
object myObject= Activator.CreateInstance(type);

IEnumerable test= (IEnumerable)myObject.GetType().InvokeMember("Invoke", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, myObject, null);

I want this method is called: public IEnumerable Invoke();

when I run the program I got an error: Ambiguous match found

So what needs to do to remove the ambiguity, so the non-generic method to be called?

Thanks in advance.

You can find the method by calling GetMethods and check ContainsGenericParameters is false. Optionally you could also check for parameter count to zero.

var method = yourType.GetMethods()
    .Where(x => x.Name == "Invoke")
    .First(x => !x.ContainsGenericParameters);
method.Invoke(myObject, null);
