I am trying to hook Up a Delegate Using Reflection. This is what I have done so far
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Data;
using System.Threading;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Windows;
namespace ChartHelper
{
public class ICChartHelper
{
public void RefreshChart()
{
try
{
Assembly myobj = Assembly.LoadFrom(@"C:\sample.dll");
foreach (Type mytype in myobj.GetTypes())
{
if (mytype.IsClass == true)
{
if (mytype.FullName.EndsWith("." + "ICAutomationProxy"))
{
// create an instance of the object
object ClassObj = Activator.CreateInstance(mytype);
// var eventTypes = mytype.GetEvents();
EventInfo evClick = mytype.GetEvent("OnRefreshCompleted");
Type tDelegate = evClick.EventHandlerType;
MethodInfo miHandler =
typeof(ChartHelper.ICChartHelper)
.GetMethod("RefreshApplication",
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
Delegate d = Delegate.CreateDelegate(tDelegate,typeof(ChartHelper.ICChartHelper), miHandler);
MethodInfo addHandler = evClick.GetAddMethod();
Object[] addHandlerArgs = { d };
addHandler.Invoke(ClassObj, addHandlerArgs);
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}
private void RefreshApplication(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Bingo");
}
But in the
Delegate d = Delegate.CreateDelegate(tDelegate,typeof(ChartHelper.ICChartHelper), miHandler);
line, I am encountering the error Error binding to target method
I have also found the discusion here and tried to solve the same but with no luck.
I need help to understand what wrong I am doing?
Thanks
Your method is an instance method, so you need to use an overload of
CreateDelegate
which takes the target of the delegate, and pass in an instance of the declaring type. For example:Note that you don't need to call
GetAddMethod
on theEventInfo
and invoke that using reflection - you can just useEventInfo.AddEventHandler
.
