[ACCEPTED]-AddEventHandler using reflection-reflection

Here's a sample showing how to attach an 1 event using reflection:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var p = new Program();
        var eventInfo = p.GetType().GetEvent("TestEvent");
        var methodInfo = p.GetType().GetMethod("TestMethod");
        Delegate handler = 
             Delegate.CreateDelegate(eventInfo.EventHandlerType, 
                                     p, 
                                     methodInfo);
        eventInfo.AddEventHandler(p, handler);

        p.Test();
    }

    public event Func<string> TestEvent;

    public string TestMethod()
    {
        return "Hello World";
    }

    public void Test()
    {
        if (TestEvent != null)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(TestEvent());
        }
    }
}

Here's a short but complete example which 8 does work:

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class EventPublisher
{
    public event EventHandler TestEvent;

    public void RaiseEvent()
    {
        TestEvent(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }
}

class Test
{

    void HandleEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("HandleEvent called");
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        // Find the handler method
        Test test = new Test();
        EventPublisher publisher = new EventPublisher();
        MethodInfo method = typeof(Test).GetMethod
            ("HandleEvent", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

        // Subscribe to the event
        EventInfo eventInfo = typeof(EventPublisher).GetEvent("TestEvent");
        Type type = eventInfo.EventHandlerType;
        Delegate handler = Delegate.CreateDelegate(type, test, method);

        // Raise the event
        eventInfo.AddEventHandler(publisher, handler);
        publisher.RaiseEvent();
    }
}

Now, when you say "I only can't fire 7 event", what exactly do you mean? You're 6 not meant to be able to raise events yourself 5 - it's up to the event publisher to do that. Does 4 all of the code you've actually presented 3 to us work? If so, it seems that it's not 2 adding the event handler that's the problem.

Could 1 you give more information?

When you say it doesn't work... what happens? Nothing? An 3 exception?

Thoughts:

• are both the event and the handler public? If not, you'll need to pass suitable BindingFlags to the GetEvent / GetMethod calls.
• does the signature of the handler match?

Here's a working example 2 (note I'm using a static handler, hence 1 the null in Delegate.CreateDelegate):

using System;
using System.Reflection;
class Test
{
    public event EventHandler SomeEvent;
    public void OnSomeEvent()
    {
        if (SomeEvent != null) SomeEvent(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }
    static void Main()
    {
        Test obj = new Test();
        EventInfo evt = obj.GetType().GetEvent("SomeEvent");
        MethodInfo handler = typeof(Test)
            .GetMethod("MyHandler");
        Delegate del = Delegate.CreateDelegate(
            evt.EventHandlerType, null, handler);
        evt.AddEventHandler(obj, del);

        obj.OnSomeEvent();
    }

    public static void MyHandler(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("hi");
    }
}
