Declaration
void AddEventHandler(EventInfo event, object target, Delegate handler)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Reflection.EventInfo event

The event to add a handler to.
System.Object target

The event source.
System.Delegate handler

Encapsulates a method or methods to be invoked when the event is raised by the target.

CreateDelegate(MethodInfo, Type)

Creates a delegate that can be used to invoke the specified static method.

Declaration
Delegate CreateDelegate(MethodInfo method, Type delegateType)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Reflection.MethodInfo method

The method to create a delegate for.
System.Type delegateType

The type of the delegate to create.
Returns
Type Description
System.Delegate

An instance of the specified delegate type that can be used to invoke the specified static method.

CreateDelegate(MethodInfo, Type, Object)

Creates a delegate that can be used to invoke the specified instance method on the specified target object.

Declaration
Delegate CreateDelegate(MethodInfo method, Type delegateType, object target)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Reflection.MethodInfo method

The method to create a delegate for.
System.Type delegateType

The type of the delegate to create.
System.Object target

The target object to invoke the method on.
Returns
Type Description
System.Delegate

An instance of the specified delegate type that can be used to invoke the specified instance method on the specified target object.

CreateInstance(Assembly, String, Boolean, BindingFlags, Binder, Object[], CultureInfo, Object[])

Locates the specified type from specified assembly and creates an instance of it using the system activator, with optional case-sensitive search and having the specified culture, arguments, and binding and activation attributes.

Declaration
object CreateInstance(Assembly assembly, string typeName, bool ignoreCase, BindingFlags bindingAttr, Binder binder, object[] args, CultureInfo culture, object[] activationAttributes)
Parameters
Type Name Description
System.Reflection.Assembly assembly

The assembly containing the type to instantiate.
System.String typeName

The System.Type.FullName of the type to locate.
System.Boolean ignoreCase

true to ignore the case of the type name; otherwise, false.
System.Reflection.BindingFlags bindingAttr

A bitmask that affects the way in which the search is conducted. The value is a combination of bit flags from System.Reflection.BindingFlags.

System.Reflection.Binder binder

An object that enables the binding, coercion of argument types, invocation of members, and retrieval of MemberInfo objects via reflection. If binder is null, the default binder is used.
System.Object[] args

An array that contains the arguments to be passed to the constructor. This array of arguments must match in number, order, and type the parameters of the constructor to be invoked. If the default constructor is desired, args must be an empty array or null.
System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture

An instance of CultureInfo used to govern the coercion of types. If this is null, the CultureInfo for the current thread is used. (This is necessary to convert a String that represents 1000 to a Double value, for example, since 1000 is represented differently by different cultures.)
System.Object[] activationAttributes

An array of one or more attributes that can participate in activation. Typically, an array that contains a single System.Runtime.Remoting.Activation.UrlAttribute object. The System.Runtime.Remoting.Activation.UrlAttribute specifies the URL that is required to activate a remote object.
Returns
Type Description
System.Object

An instance of the specified type, or null if typeName is not found. The supplied arguments are used to resolve the type, and to bind the constructor that is used to create the instance.
