Getting a delegate from methodinfo

Question

I have a drop down list that is populated by inspecting a class's methods and including those that match a specific signature. The problem is in taking the selected item from the list and getting the delegate to call that method in the class. The first method works, but I cannot figure out part of the second.

For example,

public delegate void MyDelegate(MyState state);  public static MyDelegate GetMyDelegateFromString(string methodName) {     switch (methodName)     {         case "CallMethodOne":             return MyFunctionsClass.CallMethodOne;         case "CallMethodTwo":             return MyFunctionsClass.CallMethodTwo;         default:             return MyFunctionsClass.CallMethodOne;     } }  public static MyDelegate GetMyDelegateFromStringReflection(string methodName) {     MyDelegate function = MyFunctionsClass.CallMethodOne;      Type inf = typeof(MyFunctionsClass);     foreach (var method in inf.GetMethods())     {         if (method.Name == methodName)         {             //function = method;             //how do I get the function to call?         }     }      return function; } 

How do I get the commented out section of the second method to work? How do I cast the MethodInfo into the delegate?

Thanks!

Edit: Here is the working solution.

public static MyDelegate GetMyDelegateFromStringReflection(string methodName) {     MyDelegate function = MyFunctionsClass.CallMethodOne;      Type inf = typeof(MyFunctionsClass);     foreach (var method in inf.GetMethods())     {         if (method.Name == methodName)         {             function = (MyDelegate)Delegate.CreateDelegate(typeof(MyDelegate), method);         }     }      return function; } 

Answer 1

public static Delegate CreateDelegate(this MethodInfo methodInfo, object target) {     Func<Type[], Type> getType;     var isAction = methodInfo.ReturnType.Equals((typeof(void)));     var types = methodInfo.GetParameters().Select(p => p.ParameterType);      if (isAction) {         getType = Expression.GetActionType;     }     else {         getType = Expression.GetFuncType;         types = types.Concat(new[] { methodInfo.ReturnType });     }      if (methodInfo.IsStatic) {         return Delegate.CreateDelegate(getType(types.ToArray()), methodInfo);     }      return Delegate.CreateDelegate(getType(types.ToArray()), target, methodInfo.Name); }
