How can I dynamically create an Action<T> at runtime?

Question

I want to be able to do the equivalent to the following at runtime:

var action = new Action<ANYTHING AT RUNTIME>(obj => Console.WriteLine("Called = " + obj));

I know I need to get the correct type for the Action, but not sure how to get the final bit using Delegate.Create. Type represent T in the Action definition.

var actionType = typeof(Action<>).MakeGenericType(Type);
var constructor = actionType.GetConstructors()[0];
var @delegate = Delegate.CreateDelegate(actionType, <WHAT GOES HERE>);

the point people seem to be missing is I'm trying to create an instance of Action where T can not be specified statically because it is being used from a class derived from Attribute - this means T could be anything and it can not be defines as a generic definition

Cheers

If you know what the operation you need to perform is and how to perform it regardless of type (as in your example) why not just make a generic method that performs the operation and create your delegate that way?

class Program
{
    public static void Perform<T>(T value)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Called = " + value);
    }

    public static Delegate CreateAction(Type type)
    {
        var methodInfo = typeof (Program).GetMethod("Perform").MakeGenericMethod(type);
        var actionT = typeof (Action<>).MakeGenericType(type);
        return Delegate.CreateDelegate(actionT, methodInfo);
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        CreateAction(typeof (int)).DynamicInvoke(5);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
