Can I use params in Action or Func delegates?

问题:

When I'm trying to use params in an Action delegate...

private Action<string, params object[]> WriteToLogCallBack;

I received this design time error:

Invalid token 'params' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

Any help!

回答1:

How about this workaround?

private Action<string, object[]> writeToLogCallBack;
public void WriteToLogCallBack(string s, params object[] args)
{
  if(writeToLogCallBack!=null)
    writeToLogCallBack(s,args);
}

Or you could define your own delegate type:

delegate void LogAction(string s, params object[] args);

回答2:

Variadic type parameters are not possible in C#.

That's why there're many declarations for Action<...>, Func<...>, and Tuple<...>, for example. It would be an interesting feature, though. C++0x has them.

回答3:

You could try this. It allows for any number of arguments, and you'll get a compile time error if you pass the wrong number or type of arguments.

public delegate T ParamsAction<T>(params object[] oArgs);

public static T LogAction<T>(string s, ParamsAction<T> oCallback)
{
    Log(s);
    T result = oCallback();
    return T;
}

Foo foo = LogAction<Foo>("Hello world.", aoArgs => GetFoo(1,"",'',1.1));

You can use params in the actual declaration of a delegate, but not in type of one. The generic parameters to an Action are only types, not the actual arguments to be passed when invoking the delegate. params is not a type, it is a keyword.

I have done a minor extension to the above code from Bryan, to show how to wrap multiple method calls.
I am using this to wrap multiple methods that contain database calls, into a single transaction.
Thanks Bryan :-)
(You can run the following in LINQPad to test)

//Wrapper code
public delegate void MyAction(params object[] objArgs);
public static void RunActions(params MyAction[] actnArgs)
{
    Console.WriteLine("WrapperBefore: Begin transaction code\n");
    actnArgs.ToList().ForEach( actn =>  actn() );
    Console.WriteLine("\nWrapperAfter: Commit transaction code");
}

//Methods being called
public void Hash  (string s, int i, int j)  => Console.WriteLine("   Hash-method call: " + s + "###" + i.ToString() + j.ToString());
public void Slash (int i, string s)         => Console.WriteLine("   Slash-method call: " + i.ToString()+ @"////" + s);

//Actual calling code
void Main()
{  
  RunActions( objArgs => Hash("One", 2, 1)
             ,objArgs => Slash(3, "four")   );
}

//Resulting output: 
// 
//  WrapperBefore: Begin transaction code
//  
//  Hash-method call: One###21
//  Slash-method call: 3////four
//  
//  WrapperAfter: Commit transaction code
