I know about EventInfo.AddEventHandler(...)
method which can be used to attach handler to an event. But what should be done if i can not even define proper signature of the event handler, as in, i don't even have reference to the event args expected by the handler?
I will explain the problem with the proper code.
// Scenario when I have everything available in my solution, Zero Reflection Scenario.
internal class SendCommentsManager
{
public void Customize(IRFQWindowManager rfqWindowManager)
{
rfqWindowManager.SendComment += HandleRfqSendComment;
}
private void HandleRfqSendComment(object sender, SendCommentEventArgs args)
{
args.Cancel = true;
}
}
Now, I want to achieve the same objective by using reflection. I have been able to figure out most of it but when i attach a delegate to the event (using AddEventHandler
) it throws "Error binding to target method."
exception.
I understand the reason behind this exception, attaching a wrong delegate to an event. But there must be some way to achieve this.
internal class SendCommentsManagerUsingReflection
{
public void Customize(IRFQWindowManager rfqWindowManager)
{
EventInfo eventInfo = rfqWindowManager.GetType().GetEvent("SendComment");
eventInfo.AddEventHandler(rfqWindowManager,
Delegate.CreateDelegate(eventInfo.EventHandlerType, this, "HandleRfqSendComment"));
//<<<<<<<<<<ABOVE LINE IS WHERE I AM GOING WRONG>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
}
private void HandleRfqSendComment(object sender, object args)
{
Type sendCommentArgsType = args.GetType();
PropertyInfo cancelProperty = sendCommentArgsType.GetProperty("Cancel");
cancelProperty.SetValue(args, true, null);
}
}
