AddEventHandler using reflection

by

Here’s a sample showing how to attach an 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());
        }
    }
}
